The local influence of North America's pre-eminent contemporary art fair continues to expand, so much so that for the first time, Art Miami will now take place in early December in Wynwood, rather than in January, a move that may prove a smart survival tactic for the 17-year-old fair. http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/525438.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/525438.html Fri, 09 May 2008 03:01 EDT It's time for another Gallery Walk in the Wynwood Art District.

Now living in Santo Domingo, Henríquez's work of the last two decades is the subject of Quisqueya Henríquez: The World Outside, A Survey Exhibition 1991-2007, which opens Friday at the Miami Art Museum. http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/501191.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/501191.html Sun, 20 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT With his engrossing Flor luna (Moonflower), artist Wifredo Lam delivers the portrait of a woman with generous breasts, thorns in her hair (or is it a mane?), a Bogeyman face and a horse-like mouth rendered the more grotesque by what appears to be an engorged fang. http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/492116.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/492116.html Sun, 13 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT Before and after he made his famous mobiles -- those dangling, twirling, contraptions that marked a turning point in the history of sculpture -- Alexander Calder hammered and chiseled away at jewelry. http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/490407.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/490407.html Sun, 13 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT Driving back to Miami from Homestead, Joe Zammit-Lucia saw a sign for Monkey Jungle. 'I said, 'I wonder what's there.' I thought, 'This is a peculiar facility to have here; it seems so out of the way.''' http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/492110.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/492110.html Sun, 13 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT It was one of those moments of uncanny serendipity.

But it is the next best thing. Just ask Miamians Hernan Bas, Dara Friedman, Luis Gispert and Mark Handforth, all of whom saw their international profiles, as well as their artwork's price tags, soar in the wake of their inclusion in Biennials over the past decade... http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/465462.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/465462.html Sun, 23 Mar 2008 03:01 EDT Some 80 galleries from the Americas and Spain will showcase the work of scores of Latin American artists at Merrill Lynch arteaméricas, which opens Friday at Miami Beach Convention Center. http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/465461.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/465461.html Sun, 23 Mar 2008 03:01 EDT From the outside, the Little Havana house of the quirky woman known for decades only as Demi is simply a well-groomed one-story on a quiet residential street. http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/345084.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/345084.html Sun, 16 Dec 2007 03:01 EST Few gifts can match the magic of a work of art, but let's face it: how many of us can afford such extravagance? For the visual-arts lover on your list, an art book is the next best thing. Art books educate, illuminate and transport one through time and geography. Most are simply beautiful to peruse or display in an art-conscious house. http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/336905.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/336905.html Sat, 08 Dec 2007 03:01 EST The Basel bubble hasn't burst -- yet.

She retreats to her room and reaches for her tools of expression: charcoal pencils, specialty paper -- and her mirror. http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/335530.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/335530.html Fri, 07 Dec 2007 03:01 EST A lot has happened in the career of Miami artist Daniel Arsham since he was selected to collaborate with legendary American choreographer Merce Cunningham in February. http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/333862.html http://www.miamiherald.com/274/story/333862.html Thu, 06 Dec 2007 00:01 EST Patrons raved about the museum quality of the art at Art Basel's kick-off Wednesday at the Convention Center in Miami Beach, but red dots indicating sold works seemed fewer than the first day last year.
