Art Basel Miami Beach 2011

In exactly one month, the tenth-annual Art Basel Miami Beach show will open. Art Basel Miami runs from  December 1^st through the 4^th, with over 250 major Contemporary art galleries from around the world showing over 2,000 of the most renowned artists and and “cutting-edge newcomers”.

Taking over all of Miami and the surrounding areas, this show, sister to Art Basel in Switzerland, has quickly become one of the most popular and important Contemporary art shows in the world.

There are 7 Exhibition Sectors allowing galleries to display their works and highlight specific artists in numerous ways. Outdoor and public exhibitions and performances as well as video and multimedia art will be presented for the first time.

This online catalog offers great information on how the show is set up and the galleries and artists that will be represented.
