Miami Debriefs Summary
It's now officially a week and a day since we returned from Miami, the art shippers have returned our stuff, and we're neck-deep in follow-up (not to mention slush), but I've finally found the time to survey the responses to the annual Artfest in the blogosphere and overall, considering the news out of Washington and Wall Street everyday, it went better than expected. It certainly seemed to be a good year for art. Here's my round-up of the round-ups
- Providing perhaps the most comprehensive round-up and so many photos you'll feel like you were there yourself, Joanne Mattera takes the prize for in-depth coverage of the art on view.
- Also indepth, but more about the overall scene than just the art, per se, Paddy Johnson's coverage provided plenty of analysis and juicy tidbits.
- Speaking of juicy tidbits, for the best in coverage from the collector's point of view, our man in the aisle, Mike @ Mao highlights some of the best new finds and even prices.
- For analysis of what it all means, you can't beat Artworld Salon founder
- Art Market Monitor
- {a MUSE me}
- Culture Vulture
- Kimberly Brooks
- Matthew Langley
- Tilly Strauss

What an excellent review, Joanne! Thank you for doing it, really feels like being there!
Thanks for the "prize," Ed. I'm now close to 2/3 done.
And might I mention that Ed and Bambino had a mighty fine booth--like a museum installation--with primo placement as you walked into Pulse.
Brent Burket of Heart As Arena fame wrote 2 article for the ArtCal Zine

You know what's funny is I read Brent's reviews and loved, loved, loved them and then somehow translated them into a conversation he and I had had in my head (he writes so effortlessly and so much in the way he talks).
Hi Ed, thanks for mentioning me. By the way, I had to send you another network request on Facebook. My other account was hit with the banhammer.
