Art Basel started today and runs through the 6th of December. I have never been, so I don’t know what it’s like as an experience. I’m going to remedy that this weekend. More and more, I am realizing how out of the loop I am with my Community. This is what the website says:
“Art Basel Miami Beach is the most important art show in the United States, a cultural and social highlight for the Americas. As the sister event of Switzerland's Art Basel, the most prestigious art show worldwide for the past 40 years, Art Basel Miami Beach combines an international selection of top galleries with an exciting program of special exhibitions, parties and crossover events featuring music, film, architecture and design. Exhibition sites are located in the city's beautiful Art Deco District, within walking distance of the beach and many hotels.”
“The most important art show in the United States”?I will have to see for myself.
As I am clearly not an authority on this subject, here is their website for all the necessary details: www.artbaselmiamibeach.com
I’ve climbed out from under my rock. The daylight is blinding and my legs are trembling.
No one can say their art show is the most important. That statement is inherently rubbish. It doesn't matter if it's the most expensive, or the largest, or the most well visited, or the most "prestigious"- that doesn't make it the most important.
