Dear Daily,
Art Basel Miami Beach was the wildest hurricane of 2011 from the whirlwind of art to the windstorm of parties! The 10th Anniversary of the grandest art celebration in the Unites States was even hotter than the Miami Heat.

Who would want to live with th...

Budapest is not exactly a hotbed of contemporary art. Curators there tell me people simply aren’t interested. Mounting a survey of artists from across Europe to mark Hungary’s recent presidency of the E.U. seemed like a recipe for failure. The city's MFA rounded up big shots like Jaume Plensa, Magdalena Abakanowicz, and...

Tucked in the neighborhood boundaries of Chelsea, Manhattan exists a land of white-boxed rooms separated from the mere reaches of dodgy gay bars and high street “American Apparel-like” boutiques. Exploring the buildings west of 9th Avenue can be daunting, not because of dangers lurking around the corners but arising more harshly ...
