Miami Heat: Art Basel Draws Naomi Campbell and Takashi Murakami Posted Dec 4, 2008

Miami wasn’t sizzling Tuesday night, with temperatures in the low 50s, but that didn’t stop the crowds from celebrating the opening of the Art Basel Miami Beach and Design Miami fairs. The fashion set rolled out early for a cocktail party to mark the opening of the Marni boutique in the Design District. Marni designer Consuelo Castiglioni admitted she hadn’t even seen the town yet: “I don’t know because I just came [the day before last] and I stayed the whole day in the store,� she said. While her husband said the couple aren’t collectors, Castiglioni hopes to buy some art before she leaves — and she’s heading straight to the NADA art fair, which also had its opening Tuesday night, sponsored by Banana Republic. Little did Castiglioni know the art was coming to find her: Her friend Takashi Murakami, whose Miami studio is

ART BASEL 2008

The revelry that ensues each year at Art Basel Miami Beach may have been summed up best when Glenn O’Brien, Interview magazine’s editorial director, declared at a panel discussion for the Accompanied Literary Society: “Art makes you horny.� For many, the five-day fair in December is a champagne-soaked blur of brilliant art, fabulous fashion, endless parties and many a late night dancing at club Le Baron. In an ode to all that Art Basel celebrates, we asked photographer Abbey Drucker to capture Miami in all its art-fair glory. From Olaf Breuning’s sand castle at the Sagamore to an intimate dinner with Bruce Weber, Naomi Campbell and Marc Jacobs at Casa Tua, revisit those five days of artistic indulgences—or sneak a peek at what you missed—through this 18-page portfolio.

NEWS: Gearing Up for Art Basel Miami Beach 2008

In addition to Art Basel Miami Beach's home at the Miami Beach Convention Center and signature events such as the MAM Ball, Masters of Mystery Art Show, and Art Positions, the internationally renowned art fair has a myriad of satellite exhibits around the city. Here are a few to look out for in the coming days:

Looking at art for art's sake

Practicality is seen to be more important than art as art is considered to be more of the purpose of decorative rather than functional. Although life is full of mysteries, art is included as one of these. Art itself began as a form of delivering a message, a written language. From this came the alphabets that we know as hieroglyphics and the Chinese character. Art produced writing.

Rich Collectors Not Deterred At Art Basel

elibroadap102108.jpgArt Basel, the famous art fair in Miami, just wrapped up and the damage really wasn't so bad. (Or, was it?) Attendance was only down to 40,000 from 43,000 from the year before. But, keep in mind that this was at the main fair. The event has, in recent years, attracted thousands more hangers-on who attend the smaller fairs around the city or just go to parties without seeing much (any?) art. No official word yet on how those Miami visitor numbers came in but hotel rooms were still available over the weekend, some restaurants were practically empty, and attendance at satellite fairs was slower.

The Art Schools Issue: Art Starts Here

Whether it’s NSCAD stewarding a crucial conceptualist legacy, UQAM and Concordia anchoring Montreal’s new-art boom, OCAD exploring theories of creative economy or Emily Carr building one of the nation’s best painting departments in photoconceptualism’s shadow, our art schools issue covers it all.

Where Art Thy Art Fairs Now?

The fairs are moving on up: With the Los Angeles Art Show heading downtown to the L.A. Convention Center (Jan. 21-25), both PHOTO LA (Jan. 9-11) and ART LA (Jan. 23-25) are moving into the vacated Barker Hanger at Santa Monica Airport. All three fairs show improvement, and will benefit from the additional space, though there was something nicely cluttered about the jam-packed Santa Monica Civic in years past.

Miami diary 3: Arm wrestling for art

The widespread negativity that dogged the opening days of Art Basel Miami Beach faded as collectors returned to seal the deal on works they had put on hold. It wasn't the feeding frenzy of previous fairs; after the first two days, the grand art deco hotels of Collins Avenue found themselves with vacancies for probably the first year since the art show's inception in 2002. Nevertheless, collectors are still buying, albeit at a more measured rate than before.

Japan's Sanyo to cut up to 1,000 jobs: report

Japan's Sanyo Electric Co. plans to cut up to 1,000 jobs to revamp its struggling businesses before being bought by Panasonic Corp., a press report said Tuesday. Sanyo Electric is considering shedding about 500 of its 20,000 regular employees in Japan, mainly in the semiconductor division, by the end of March, the Nikkei business daily reported. The total number of job cuts, including temporary workers, is expected to reach about 1,000, the daily said, without naming its sources. Several hundred of the 2,000 regular jobs at wholly owned unit Sanyo Semiconductor Co. are expected to be axed under an early retirement programme, the Jiji news agency said. The subsidiary has some 10,000 workers worldwide. "As we have announced with Panasonic, we must pursue structural reform," a company spokeswoman said.

Life of photography in the Nigerian art gallery space

ADLY, there is a very disappointing minimal presence of photography in the exhibited collection of the National Gallery of Art; the NGA. This obvious and discouraging fact, is enough evidence for me to be tempted to rephrase the topic of this keynote address as, 'The Non-Visibility of Photography in the Nigerian Art Gallery Space'; moreso as the National Gallery of Art by its official mandate, is supposed to cater for Artists, Photographers and Architects and, thereby, should set the direction and standards for other private Art Galleries in Nigeria to emulate.
