Get ready get set goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....

And they are off to buy over 100 million dollars in contemporary art in the course of the Basel Miami week of art fairs. They say there are over 17 various fairs going on. Kinda crazy art world mecca point. Can the market hold it all together or will signs be seen by all that sales have become deluted. Oh well just so long as the artists are making money thats what really matters. Below I have listed the major fairs that I have found going on.

 If you know of anything I missed please let me know and I'll add it on.
