Quiet Lunch is in Miami! Every day check out my Miami Art Basel report, my special envoy pop-up blog. I will be carefully selecting only the very best out of the myriad of events happening simultaneously during Miami Art Basel week alongside pieces I like.
Let’s start with the Bigger than Life press preview day for Miami Art Basel, a.k.a.the Big Mac or the Black Friday of the art world!
Here’s what I fell in love and in lust with today…
