Art Basel Miami 2012: The W Guide
Every year, the art world—and a who’s-who of jetsetters—turns out en masse in Miami Beach to see and be seen by the biggest names in the business. Oh, and party-hop like there’s no tomorrow. This year, December 6-9, the affair is bigger than ever, so we’re breaking it all down for you with a list of the must-see events, and the best places to eat, stay, and play.

Satellite Fairs
After the Convention Center, head to one of the 20-something satellite
fairs dotting the Miami area like: NADA (60 exhibitors with two
can’t miss booths from Bischoff Project and Night Gallery), Scope
(an incubator for emerging work), Art Miami (the city’s
longest-running contemporary and modern art fair. Look out for Peter
Anton’s life-size carnival ride “Sugar &
Gomorrah”.), Art Asia (premier international Asian contemporary
art fair), Design Miami (new and notable furniture, lighting, and objets
d’art. Plus, check out the inflatable entrance pavilion by
Snarkitecture, and Verge (look out for the new Light Assembly
art, film, and architecture exposition). And a few that are new this
year like: Context Art Miami (a ‘fair within a fair’ inside
the Art Miami tents, featuring five works by Banksy), Untitled (a highly
curated fair with only 50 galleries), and JustMad Mia (30 galleries and
a working recreation of Madrid’s San Miguel Market with local food
offerings).
