Art Basel Miami Beach takes place from December 7 - 10, 2006. The
international art show in Miami Beach (Florida) is the American sister
event of Art Basel in Switzerland, the most important annual art show
worldwide for the past 37 years. Art Basel Miami Beach is a new type of
cultural event, combining an international art show with an exciting
program of special exhibitions, parties and crossover events including
music, film, architecture and design. Exhibition sites are located in
the city's beautiful Art Deco District, within walking distance of the
beach and most hotels and restaurants.
An exclusive selection of
200 leading art galleries from North America, Latin America, Europe,
Africa and Asia will exhibit 20th and 21st century art works by over
1500 artists.
The exhibiting galleries are among the world's
most respected art dealers. They will be showing exceptional works by
both renowned established artists and cutting-edge newcomers. Special
exhibitions will feature young galleries and video art. The show will
be a vital source for discovering new deve-lopments in contemporary art
and rare museum-calibre art works. Art collectors, artists, dealers,
curators, critics and art enthusiasts from around the world will
participate in the event. Top-quality exhibitions in the museums of
South Florida and special programs for art collectors and curators,
will make this art show a special place for encountering art and the
art world – the favorite winter meeting place for the international art
world.
Art Basel Miami Beach is the most important art show on the
American continent and a cultural and social highlight of the Americas.
