Even early Tuesday evening, Art Miami was buzzing, with many collectors coming from Art Basel back to the mainland, others having skipped the beach fair.
Art Miami’s 165 galleries offer something for nearly every collector: abstracts, sculptures, street art, a Calder tapestry, Warhols, a rare print with a hand-drawn section by the elusive Banksy, a booth filled entirely with work by Alex Katz — and of course, work by last year’s wunderkind, Andreas Valencia, who has just turned 11.
Take a look at some images from the Art Miami VIP opening.
