Art Basel 2014 Miami Beach

Art Basel 2014 Miami Beach.
The enthusiasm for the mundane, whimsical and comic novelty market shares no boundaries with local press writers in Miami. It is amazing that an ensemble of the world’s leading art market manages to completely allude contemporary global dynamics. One would have thought the world’s problems, humanity’s guilt and the endless news of suffering would be able to register a few notes of sympathy among the aesthetic elite but yet again Art Basel 2014 defies belief…

in reality. This years Miami market has been well fielded by new residents from Latin America, Russia and Asia, the police and Federal authorities are booking hundreds of prime real estate units confiscated for financial washing. How has Basel survived Miami so long ? because it’s avant garde art and trend in style.

  Thursday morning.
  Chairman of the Miami Beach Host committee for Art Basel 2012 is  Norman Braman, the county’s most popular and dynamic figure talked about the international reach he personally has witnessed. Miami Beach Mayor Matti Herrera Bower was delighted to have Collins Park active encouraging the Art Basel crowd to explore. Guy Morin, Canton President  of  Basel_Stadt and Jason Chandler, UBS committed to the audience the expansion of the Art Basel market with an all year presence on Miami Beach announced by Annette Schönholzer and Marc Spiegler. It was an exciting start to the event and Miami officials were beaming to host this very lucrative and culturally prestigious show once again. The layout, sections and comfort needs fit well into the Miami Beach Convention Center and finding an alternative venue on the Beach would be hard. Mr. Norman Braman is correct in praising the lift the region has with the Basel partnership, Miami was also ready for a major art show or Biennial at the end of the 90’s. Now our region will have the Asian art market to attract visitors and investors.

South Florida is blessed with warm sunny climes when the rest of the world is either beginning to shiver or tired of it.

Miami Beach’s artistic history continues by hosting Art Basel for another decade.
