Art Miami, Miami’s longest running fair, is best known as a showcase for secondary-market art that collectors are looking to sell. This year, that includes ample showings of sculptures, paintings and drawings by Fernand Botero, the famed Colombian artist who died in September. In fact, the fair’s VIP lounge features an homage to the artist.
