MIAMI ART WEEK HUNTS
The first week of December marks the annual art-world pilgrimage to Miami Beach for North America’s edition of Art Basel and the surrounding eco-system of events that are hosted alongside it. The sensational art week draws up to 100,000 visitors and up to 18 other fairs are running concurrently with Art Basel this year, which hosts 260+ galleries exhibiting works by over 4,000 both rising and renowned artists.
It goes without saying that there are always a number of notable fairs to attend, not to mention museum shows and gallery pop-ups, but here is a selection of works that stood out for us from three of the fairs we spent the most time at this year; Art Basel, Untitled and NADA.
