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.

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.

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.
