Yes sir, it's December 3 and Miami Basel has begun. Usually all about the glitz and glamor of the art world what will this year bring? With many keeping an eye on what's up down south, (rumor has it that the quality of art is excellent amid financial gloom) so can you by following these fine links:
Read this hopeful article at ArtInfo, "A Kinder, Gentler Art Basel" by Judd Tully. For a more skeptical view see, "Twenty-One Cranky Ways of Looking at Art Basel Miami Beach" by Linda Lee. ArtInfo has a dedicated section to this year's fair.

My friends at MyArtSpace are launching their new ecommerce capabilities this week at Miami Bridge Fair. ArtLOOK has been looking forward to the launch of NYAXE. Have a look.
Art Basel...sounds like the commercial version of Bambi meets Godzilla.

Personally...I prefer Renaissance Fair's
where a good knife throwing contest is followed by 1-2 days of gluttony and debauchery.
