Art Basel Miami

-
I wanted to write a little bit about our weekend visit to Art Basel Miami.
The art fair had grown up so much in the past years that now it sprouted more than 15 satellite art fairs around the city.
On top of this, most museums and galleries around the city run special events on the same weekend.

You can also visit some major private art collections like the Rubell family's collection and Margulies family's collection. Both collections are housed in vast warehouses with a great amount of cutting edge contemporary art.

If you do go to see this major art event in coming years, I strongly advice you to visit some of the satellite shows which carry great work.
With booth fees reaching six figures, most galleries take less chances with bringing experimental work to the main Art Basel affair.
In contrast, the smaller fairs, charge much less (five figures) and the work tends to be more interesting.
The smaller fairs are also easier to walk through.

Here is the list of the fairs going on in Miami during Art Basel:

  Days 44 & 45 - Hengchun To Taipei, And Rewarding Ourselves In The Hot Springs Town Of Beitou, The Long Walk South In Taiwan   Last night, the Taiwan National Weather Service issued a typhoon warning and evacuation orders for the southeastern coast, exactly in the location where we were scheduled to walk. We decided to cancel the coastal walk, because the heritage trail was closed anyway, and instead head back to Taipei. But getting back to Taipei from our southeastern location would take some time. First we needed to get to the city of Hengchun, where we could take a three hour long bus to the city of Kaohsiung, and then take the high speed train to Taipei Station. The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years stor...
