Thank you for the breakdown.. As a local, I've always wanted to understand the significance of this fair.

[@Prograffable]

As an art enthousiast from Belgium I’d love to go there one day

[@thatgirledy]

[@amapparatistkwabena]

Lived in Basel, Switzerland for a couple of years and was blown away by the sheer quality and volume of impeccable art at this event. Hoped to visit Miami this year (2022), but didn’t make it (ATL instead).😢 2023? Can’t wait!

[@NoritaGharib]

He forgot to mention they charge thousands for the booths unless your an A lister

[@AlvaroVerduzcoArtist]

He forgot to mention they charge about 20,000 per square inch per booth…

[@dariel7001]

yes but the "art" sells for 200,000 at the cheapest

[@jayegilkes]

The piece at 6:17 🙏

[@maidan548]

Esta enfocado como un evento social y en cuánto los coleccionistas pueden obtener que el arte y las obras en si mismas. El arte contemporáneo hace tiempo que ha dejado de deslumbrar al público, salvo excepciones

[@philbe2482]

Lots of traffic in Miami that week. Every street was gridlocked with bumper to bumper SUVs. Lots of air traffic at Mia and Opa locka. Seems everyone forgot about climate change.. 🤔

[@ivanklymenko]

🤩😍🤩

[@gregaiken1725]

whats the minimal ticket cost to attend?

[@sharonhutchison6037]

This year was my 4th visit to art Basel. I thought this year was the most under whelming yet. I really didn't find much of interest.

[@olafsager6056]

Do you think as an artist you need to meet Marc Spiegler? My answer is no.

[@chardelraconner7324]

when slay brand and buttery bros appear who is what in dynamic insult

[@aleksbellov]

"Black Square" by Malevich put an end to the image of reality. The radical gesture was to reject all culture in principle. It first appeared in the opera "Victory over the Sun" in 1913, where, according to the plot, an aviator flies to the sky and wraps the sun in a dirty, dusty blanket. The sun in this opera is a symbol of traditional culture and a black square appears on the back of the stage. In 1914 the war begins. According to historians, the spirit of war was simply in the air. In 1915, the black square was presented at the 0/10 exhibition and laid the foundation for all modern art. After the war, Victor Vasarelli, inspired by the square, developed a new style of Opt-art in art, on the basis of which all computer graphics were developed. The world is on the verge of discovering a quantum computer and light plays the main role here, so victory over black ... is inevitable //kzbin.info/www/bejne/d326aWCqmNGFfs0

[@karllieck9064]

Too much talk, not enough artwork.

[@yankeeluver100]

I've seen more artistic merit in a Mario game than in much of what Art Basel offers. Much of modern art is a disgrace and fails to inspire, like the art of our ancestors.

[@takashi-8205]

Remember the banana taped to the wall and be called as art? Sold for over 100,000$. yeah that was at this art festival….just a glorified money laundry event.

[@deathlarsen7502]

What a bunch of BS to sell painted canvas as if it's worth all that money that they're charging. Just a bunch of garbage and a scam

[@wasua100]

You can say that about anything

[@apostlemarvinomede3961]

You can imagine… I wish you understand how many years it has taken that artist to get to that level, leaving everything behind and dedicating everything to what you call a single canvas. That is the result and reward of a 20 years of dedication to service. Always research artist that you see their art soar higher. It is not colours on canvas.. It is sweat, blood, hunger, commitment, absolute dedication and 100 / 💯 percent submission to a purpose. Then finally natures pay them back. The same way, Basket Ballers are signed of thousands of dollars to play for a team for 3-5 year. The same way, Christiano Ronaldo earns millions of dollars as sign up fees and bonus. And musicians are signed paid and earned royalty for one record or album all their lives. Bro is just Art 🖼. Life is Art…Music, football, Basketball ball and Painting on Canvas..it is VALUE ADDED TO LIFE AND NAME AS A BRAND. You can join them if you want..it is a level playing field for everyone. Thanks
