Each December, the art world heads to Miami for the international art fair Art Basel Miami Beach. The goal of this 4-day extravaganza is ostensibly to buy, look, talk and think about art. This year, the fair turned ten and cemented its reputation as the ruckus and slightly inebriated younger sibling of the staid and serious Art Basel in Switzerland.
For the tenth anniversary of Art Basel Miami Beach, the organisers have teamed up with the Bass Museum of Art to rethink the fair’s presentation of public art. Art Public, centred for the first time in the newly landscaped Collins Park by the Bass Museum, will exhibit 24 works – a record number – selected by guest curator Christine Y. Kim.
