Focus
on Miami
Miami
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.
