Elusive graffiti artist, new contemporary art museum part of Art Basel Miami Beach
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – The prestigious Art Basel Miami Beach doesn’t open to the public until Thursday.
But pieces like gargantuan, wind-powered skeletal creatures, an installation of calcified, obsolete 20th century media devices and works from the elusive British graffiti artist Banksy are already on display.
The fair, now in its 13th year, will feature paintings, sculptures, photographs and films from 267 art galleries in 31 countries at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Art Basel, a U.S. extension of the contemporary art fair held each June in Basel, Switzerland, officially opens Thursday and runs through Sunday. But established galleries, museums and pop-ups are already hosting VIP parties and showing off works across the city.
