• And I Quote, from the New Times: “Half a billion dollars is poised to change hands during the next frenzied four days, as our fair city becomes an international Opa-locka/Hialeah Flea Market for art swells. Soon there will be more private jets than turkey buzzards flying over downtown’s Miami-Dade County Courthouse.” Bonus points: The article comes with a downloadable print-out of a “Baselopoly” Monopoly board. The most expensive property is, you guessed it, Basel. The cheapest? Contemporanea Fine Art in Little Havana.
• The Sun Post: An interesting article about what all those satellite fairs and art galleries do for the community that lives in and around Wynwood: not much.
• City Link (Article not available online): “The term art fair can summon all manner of terrifying images: overweight bargain hunters in wide-brimmed hats and floral shirts, coconut and driftwood sculptures bearing human features, watercolor paintings of Key West sunsets…” Not really, but if there had been a Basel satellite fair like this one, I woulda been there in a second because it probably would have been a ton of fun.
