Miami Beach has always been about sex, sun, sand and stars but this week they play second fiddle to our other obsession : art. This is Miami Art Week which is the world’s leading contemporary art show with the central focus being on the Art Basel Fair which serves as the ‘serious art for grown-ups‘ part.
