from Art Basel Miami Beach

December 2009:

~ Collective Consciousness
Art Basel Miami Beach has always been regarded as something of a litmus test for the current creative and market climate, and a harbinger for the year to come. Here we present Miami's preeminent collectors - Ella Fontanals-Cisneros, Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz, Martin Margulies, Mera and Don Rubell and Dennis and Debra Scholl - and their thoughts on the fair and beyond.


December 2008:

~ Latin America's New Breed
Most Latin American collectors sought only local and historical work into the 1990s. But a new group, set on creating a more diverse palette, is buying up contemporary art from around the world.


December 2006:

December 2005:
