Today’s New Miami recap focuses on Art Basel – both the art itself and the opportunity it brought for brokers to court potential clients.
With over $3 billion worth of art on display and an estimated 50,000 visitors flying to Miami for the fair, this was Art Basel’s most successful year yet.

At Art Basel, multi-millionaires bought not only paintings but luxury properties to hang them in.
