Cool Hunting
Now in its 4th year on Miami Beach, Art Basel opened doors last night to an eager crowd of collectors, dealers, artists and press. The main event is at the Convention Center, but the overwhelming popularity of Basel has resulted in many outcroppings of art all over Miami and Miami Beach. After the jump are some shots of work (both old and new) we saw and loved last night. Stay tuned for lots more posts from Basel, Scope, Nada, Design Miami and more.

Now in its third year, Scope is one of the more established of the many art fairs held last week in Miami, but still feels like the alternative to the alternative—a looser, more kinetic little sister to both Nada and Basel counterparts. Having graduated from their old digs in the Thompson Hotel, Scope now has a tent of its own. But, walking through it...
Opening this Thursday, 5 January, in Miami's Frederic Snitzer Gallery, Lynne Golob Gelfman's latest solo show builds on her repertoire of densely layered, process-oriented work.

I appreciate the economics of including smaller galleries and less expensive work (the kind I can actually afford to buy), though I prefer a tent or hall to the difficult to navigate, overcrowded rooms and hallways of a hotel. The 70+ galleries from around the world presented works by some...
design.05 Miami made its debut last night as part of the art and design frenzy in Miami that is frothing to unknown proportions with Art Basel and its six concurrent shows (Aqua Art Miami, Frisbee Art Fair, NADA Art Fair, Pulse and SCOPE Miami, not to mention every museum and gallery in town and their concurrent shows). There is so much great art and...

New to the events happening during Art Basel this year, a series of studio visits allows visitors to see what happens before the art gets into the sterile white walls of the booths and galleries. Running through 8 December 2007, daily tours include artists like RISD fallout Jim Drain and friend of CH Lynne Golub Gelfman whose process (as evidenced by the image of...
