Here we go again: Art Basel Miami Beach 2013 just released the names of this year’s exhibitors. Though the list runs about as long as last year’s (258 in 2013, 257 in 2012), the fair has added Edition, a new section of 13 art publishers that includes New York’s Pace Prints and Two Palms. And though there are some Western European additions (mostly from Berlin), Art Basel’s press release notes that nearly half of this year’s exhibitors are from the Americas, making the Miami Beach show “the premier destination for galleries from the United States and Latin America.” That includes a couple more local Florida galleries and Chicago’s Corbett vs. Dempsey, which was added to the Nova section.

Highlights from Art Basel Miami Beach

Art Basel Miami Beach is not fun, but sometimes, through the fluorescent lighting, puzzle-piece layout, and brazen privilege, you see some art you like. This is not a typical sentiment at an art fair, populated as they are with the type of work only a catnipped cat would love. However, this year we—and a few others—noticed something a little fishy: for an art fair, the work was in surprisingly good taste.

Art Basel Miami Beach: Slideshow and Commentary

by Will Brand and Corinna Kirsch on December 6, 2012

Art Basel Miami Beach is, as always, an overwhelming experience. There is art, impossible amounts of it, shiny and glossy and kinetic. There are people, hidden within the silicone husks of slightly younger people, who all seem to be terribly important. There are many kind words but few kind looks.

Basel’s not as bad as it might be, really. This year the fish are biting, and the quality of the work overall is fairly high. There is, in the depths of its 250-odd galleries, art worth looking at. We’ll have a fuller report later today; in the meantime, here are 29 samples of what’s on show, with our comments.

This week in Massive Links: GIFs now high brow according to the Atlantic! Also, the magazine does us the favor of locating all the bad public art in the country. Was this really necessary? Dealer and Entrepreneur Jen Bekman waxes on art as does star curator and non-profit director Dan Cameron. Contrary to 20×200 business model, Kevin Kelly thinks sharing will eventually trump ownership in the cloud.

Don’t expect an empty parking lot when visiting the Armory Fair. Even as I took this shot yesterday crowds were growing inside, and that was just the press preview. Brave the crowds this year. Even if The Armory Fair isn’t the best on the circuit, it’s much better than it was last year, or the year before. A run down of Pier 92’s highlights and lowlights.

“The Greatest living fainter in the uniuec states” and Other Marvels of DVD Bootlegging

by Art Fag City on November 9, 2009

POST BY MARINA GALPERINA This week, we reached into the bottomless bucket of banality and visual amusements that is Flickr and pulled out the “Crappy Bootleg DVD Covers” group. The covers of these awkwardly pirated movies feature a jumble of Engrish, incorrect information and dadaist photoshop. Behold a top-hatted Dustin Hoffman Lost In Translation, Schwarzenegger […]

Massive Links! It’s a Ghost Town!

by Art Fag City on April 10, 2009

Frieze intellectuals note 1980’s revitalism looks through the lens of politics.  Highlights include: the animal rights group PETA request that the Pet Shop Boys change their name to the Rescue Shelter Boys, the political divisions between 'Thatcherite pop and Marxist funk', and The Specials' 1981 single, 'Ghost Town' and accompanying promo video (described as “one […]

Fresh Links!

by Art Fag City on July 25, 2008

Tom Moody – on Bill Schwarz.  Also Ken Johnson smearing Triple Candie in the Times Anaba reposted this and so am I. It still bothers me that the Times never offered Triple Candie an apology for describing the non-response of two artists, one of whom was never contacted as a “rejected an invitation to do […]
