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.

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.
