Art Basel Weekend

The art world elite are flocking to Florida for the tenth year of Art Basel Miami Beach. This prestigious, internationally renowned art show begins today and features work by more than 2,000 artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. More 260 leading galleries from North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa will represented at the showcase, which runs through Sunday, December 4.

While they’re not busy viewing art, attending lectures and taking part in very important, highly intellectual conversation, Art Basel attendees will be, well, partying. Here’s where:

FRIDAY

Moksha Art Fair @ 7th Circuit Studios

Visionary works by figures like Alex Grey and Andrew Jones have become the art of choice in many electro sub-sects, and the Moksha Art Fair has become the premier visionary art showcase during the week of Art Basel. We like the pairing.

Rembrandt Erotic Secrets @ World Erotic Art Museum

Didn’t know that Rembrandt had a saucy side, did ya? See for yourself during Rembrandt’s Erotic Secrets. This exhibit will showcase what historians, curators and collectors have for centuries declared the iconic Dutch artist’s “dirty little secrets.” Twenty etchings by Rembrandt van Rijn will be unveiled all together for the first time.

SATURDAY
