FAL WIRE

Miami Art Week is a whirlwind of creativity, culture, and spectacle, with Art Basel at its epicenter. From the vast halls of the Miami Convention Center to standout installations by global artists, the fair brings together collectors, galleries, and curious newcomers alike. Part One of this series reflects on the scale, diversity, and impact of Art Basel Miami Beach, exploring why it remains one of the most important fine art events in the United States.

At Miami Beach’s Untitled Art Fair, Kara Walker’s powerful silhouette work reimagines a 19th-century Civil War image, confronting viewers with their own assumptions about race, gender, and history. By overlaying black silhouettes onto historic prints, Walker transforms the past into a mirror for the present, inviting deeper reflection on how we see—and interpret—cultural narratives today.
