Miami’s annual art frenzy kicked off Tuesday with a half-dozen art fairs vying for VIP attention and a general sense of optimism about the city’s ongoing appeal for wealthy technocrats. “We’ve had a good rush at the door,” said Nick Korniloff, director of Art Miami / CONTEXT, on Tuesday afternoon.

As a free-entry event focusing on contemporary works on paper at the Dorchester Hotel in Miami Beach, INK Miami has gained a reputation for showcasing an array of 20th-century masterworks and newly published editions by prominent international contemporary artists.

Located within walking distance (a rarity in Miami) of the Convention Center, Design Miami showcases museum-worthy collectible items. The fair features 20th- and 21st-century furniture, lighting and objets d’art from the world’s top galleries. In essence, it’s a design lover’s fantasy. This year’s fair is open to the public from December 3 to 8.
