Art Basel Week 2016

The 2016 Edition of Art Basel Miami Beach included a number of spectacular themed and solo artist presentations along with notable examples of works by some of the most highly regarded contemporary artists. In depth “mini” exhibitions included Howard Hodgkin at Alan Cristea Gallery, new monumental works by Gilbert & George at Lehmann Maupin, early photos by Andy Goldsworthy at Lelong.my, representations of functional objects by Tom Sachs at Sperone Westwater, over 80 important works by Man Ray at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art and Galleria d’Arte Maggiore – G.A.M.’s absolutely sublime Morandi exhibition. The over the top installation of a spaghetti-ized studio apartment at Fondation Beyeler by Italian artists Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari was one of this fairgoer’s favorites.
