Never Thought We'd Be on a Boat

Just when you thought Miami's art fairs couldn't get any more obscenely glam, the Miami International Art Fair one-ups everybody by taking all of its high-priced, avant-garde showpieces and putting them on a yacht.

Just when you thought Miami's art fairs couldn't get any more obscenely glam, the Miami International Art Fair one-ups everybody by taking all of its high-priced, avant-garde showpieces and putting them on a yacht.

Galleries from as far as Seoul, London, and Vienna will show their best works alongside those from hometown hot spots such as Black Square Gallery and Hardcore Art Contemporary Space.
