Focus on Miami

Muchacha viendo pájaros- Artist: Manuel Alvarez BravoMiami is now one of the hottest art travel destinations on the international art fair circuit. This is partly due to the phenomenal energy Art Basel Miami Beach and its satellite fairs have bestowed on the city's cultural front. All the hype surrounding its new found "cultural" status overlooks the fact that Miami's flavor comes in large part from its evolution into a Latin American city.

Following that trend, Merrill Lynch takes advantage of its Miami position as an important Latin American business, banking, and media center to showcase its participation in the Miami art scene with Merrill Lynch arteaméricas - The Latin American Art Fair. The show features artists representing nearly all regions of Latin America, as well as Latin-American ex-pats working in the United States and the Iberian Peninsula.

P.S. In this issue, I'm also sharing with you a restaurant that I discovered during Art Basel Miami Beach after learning that one of my favorite dining establishments in the city, the Abbey Dining Room, had closed.
