Art Basel Miami Beach: Spectacular spectacular, Part...
Denise Brown elaborates on why artists just love causing a scene at Miami Art Basel. "Producing something that actually can’t be sold probably interests some artists and for others it’s just about having people look at you and being noticed."

The world of Art Basel Miami Beach
Art Basel Miami Beach, held in December, is the most important show on the art world’s winter calendar. Created to complement the summer Art Basel show in Switzerland, the international art glitterati are drawn to the balmy weather of Miami, one of the hippest cities in the world. The event has boosted Miami’s prominence as an international art hub, and there is a thriving community of dealers, collectors, museums and artists that act as the foundation of the event. The exhibition sites are in the historic and trendy Art Deco district, once the preserve of gangsters and drug-runners, now a playground for the hottest names in design, art, music and showbiz. All of the sites are within walking distance of the world famous Miami Beach. The best of contemporary art is on show, with more than two thousand artists exhibiting work from the twentieth and twenty first centuries. Although it draws the household names of modern art, it especially helps to raise the profile of emerging talent, with large spaces devoted to young artists and newly created work. It is the best showcase of contemporary art in North America, bringing together the most talented and influential artists from every corner of the world. More than 220 specially selected dealers exhibit pieces from artists in their galleries, showing a range of works. From video installations and sculptures to major public art projects, Art Basel Miami Beach showcases the variety of art and cutting-edge techniques used around the world today.

Affordable Art in 2008
Continuing with our art coverage this autumn, we went down to Battersea Park to get the low down on the preview evening of the the Affordable Art Fair. Aptly named 'affordable' because you will not find a single piece over £3,000, and even then you'll probably find a lot selling for less, it means you’ll be hard pushed not to find something within your price bracket. For those who are looking for the next Banksy be sure to check out the Recent Graduates' Exhibition to gaze at a diverse spectrum of talent springing up from the UK's art schools. We interviewed gallery owners Rebecca Hossack and Alison Honour, The Fine Art Partnership gallerist Rebecca Eames, and artist-in-residence Charlotte Hardy. We also speculated the future of art as investment with Will Ramsay, the founder of the Affordable Art Fair. Tiffany Fairey of PhotoVoice talks about being the beneficiary charity for the preview night of the fair. We also mingled with the collectors and guests, asking them whether they thought art was a luxury or a necessity.
