This past
week I felt like a true jet setter or rather like a famed artist that emerged
from nowhere as I literally dove head first into the insanity that is ArtBasel. I highly recommend that you heighten your social calendar next year and
take a trip South to escape to now what is my favorite time in Miami. I was
blown away with the rigorous planning one must procure in advance in order to
gracefully make way during Basel. It’s not just the art...it’s the events,
galas, and breezy tropical nights that lure the sophisticated and
uber good looking crowd to Basel.
A VIP
pass will get you up close and personal with the planet’s top galleries,
notable fairs, aspiring talents and most importantly, influential curators from
around the world to help distill your artistic eye. With over 260 galleries
from 29 countries the city beats with an undeniable pulse showcasing modern and
contemporary works from the 20th and 21st century. It's bound to overwhelm you with inspiration! I was so impressed with the opening of
the much anticipated Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). It is a work of art itself architecturally, I mean amazing with an outdoor hanging garden installation
beyond! Art Basel was impressive, Art Miami in the design district...my favorite,
and smaller fairs like Untitled, Scope and Pulse in their self-contained pop up
tents on the white coral beaches were equally inviting.
