Art Basel/Miami Beach has expanded over the years, now including dozens of art fairs and events. In December a friend kindly invited me to Art Miami, which occupied the bayfront property where the Miami Herald once stood.
As always, fascination with the female form, followed by celebrity glam, reigns. What looks different – after years without a visit – is how prevalent smartphones are, with many viewers glued to the interactivity of their hand mirror.
(A disclaimer: I first visited Art Miami and the Art Context annex for several hours with friends, without camera. Only days later did I return to take these images.)
The last image, of Eric Fischl’s Untitled, 2011, made of cast glass, was one of the most attractive pieces of the show.
