Cool Hunting
The little sister to the 37 year-old fair in Basel, in just five years Art Basel Miami Beach has established itself as a major international art fair—albeit a slightly wilder, more social version than the others. We decided to use the popularity of the fair and the many other fairs and events happening at the same time to look at the current art market and the roles of the painters, collectors and gallerists involved. In this episode, NADA director Heather Hubbs, art collector Marvin Friedman (who's been involved with Art Basel since it started in Miami), artist and Florida resident James Rosenquist, German gallerist Rudiger Lange and the creative duo known as Friends With You, all weigh in with unique points of view about the fair and their roles in it.

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...

You may have noticed it has been a light week of posting around here. Our efforts have been focused on creating last night's party celebrating the 50th episode of Cool Hunting Video.
