Overture Miami 2012

Overture in association with Arts For A Better World, presented a nice line up of galleries and artists at this years fair. It was their 3rd Edition to the Art Basel Miami Beach week art scene. They were in the same exhibition tent as Art Asia and Scope Miami, and it seemed to work well. Taglialatella Galleries curated an "110 WARHOLS, AN OVERVIEW" and it was one of the highlights at this fair.

Miami and Miami Beach Art Fairs

One thing I can say now, start planning to visit to Miami next December. If you like art and mostly likely do, you should experience this major art event, in beautiful, warm and friendly Miami.

Art Miami - First Stop In Miami

Less than a week away Art Miami is one of the center pieces of the Miami art fair week. This is always one of my first stops on the art fair circuit and one of the must see fairs in Miami.

Art Miami maintains a preeminent position in America's contemporary art fair market. With a rich history, it is the original and longest-running contemporary art fair in Miami and continues to receive praise for the variety of unparalleled art that it offers. It is the "can't miss" event for all serious collectors, curators, museum directors, and interior designers providing an intimate look at some of the most important work at the forefront of the international contemporary art movement.

The fair will commence on December 4, 2012 with Art Miami's highly anticipated Opening Night VIP Preview. Last year, Art Miami attracted 8,000 collectors, curators, artists, connoisseurs, and designers during its Opening Night and 55,000 attendees over a six-day period.

Here are a few images to get you excited about attending.
