Art Basel Miami 2011 Kicks Off with Satellite Fairs and Citywide Cultural Integration

Art Basel Miami 2011 is set to take place from November 30 to December 4 in Miami, Florida, with previews kicking off on Wednesday. This marks the tenth year of the fair, which has grown to be larger than Chicago's art expo and competes closely with its Swiss counterpart, which began in 2002. Over 40,000 attendees are expected, along with more than a dozen satellite events, such as NADA and Pulse. Notable galleries include Rachel Uffner showcasing Sara Greenberger Rafferty and Morgan Lehman with Sharon Louden. Key attractions feature Andy Warhol drawings and Louise Bourgeois works. Plus, the Bass Museum highlights Erwin Wurm, while local galleries present curated exhibitions, with Art Basel providing free shuttle services across various Miami neighborhoods.
