It took us a whole week to process four fairs, fifty-six events, and hundreds of faces we’ve encountered in Miami during this year’s Basel. Here’s your complete A-Z guide to places, works, and names you should keep in mind until the next craze fest kicks in. Altmejd, David. The Canadian (!) delivered and we all wanted to keep staring at that strange Glasswalker mutant.  Well done, Andrea Rosen. Ben & Jerry’s. Yes, the ice-cream maker finally joined the performance art derby by having thousands of people peacefully dancing on the beach to a John Lennon number curated by Natalie Kovac. Cherry Garcia lovers were rewarded for their efforts with sweets. Chow, Eva and Michael. Most diners went into for lobster with ginger and left with a pocketful of business cards. Deals were made, every big name artist paid a visit to a brand new eatery, and Larry hosted his own big dinner on Mr. Chow premises. Deitch, Jeffrey. Sure, we enjoyed the booth (Shepard Fairey and Miranda July were very strong) but it seemed like everyone had an even better time at Jeffrey’s Santigold concert at The Raleigh. Could the music promoter be his next big job title? Efron, Zac. Yes, the High School Musical icon made it to Basel thanks to Richard Phillips’ Five Most Wanted Men series. It was sold almost immediately. Fernández, Teresita. One of Maupin’s brightest stars and a Miami native had a strong week: cocktail party in Setai in her honor, strong reviews, and good Chelsea show momentum. Geers, Kendell. That “F&%!” disco ball was pretty cool to look at. Hirst, Damien. You might have heard of this fella. Irwin, Robert. Two strong works (at Pace and White Cube). At 81, he can still knock it out of the park. Jackson, Michael. The gloved one’s presence was felt but our favorite tribute had to be David LaChapelle’s at Tony Shafrazi. Elle McPherson was interested too. Kehinde Wiley finished close second with his massive painting. Kjartansson, Ragnar. This Icelander has a difficult name and his God installation at MOCA was far away but he stole that group show with cheery, big band ease. Louboutin, Christian. The happy French cobbler was all over Basel. He went to the fairs, ate BBQ at Craig Robbins’ mansion, and entertained guests at the Mattia Bonetti blowout at The Standard. Mayet, Jorge. His brilliant floating Cuban hut named Deseo was inescapable, even for those of us working on our tan instead of clocking in hours at the Convention Center or Pulse. Navarro, Iván. The Chilean photogenic man on a rise led a strong group of Latin American artists. His neon sculptures were spotted in several galleries but the Distrito 4 piece was our favorite. Okay Mountain. The Austin based art group opened up a hilarious and totally made-up store in the middle of Pulse selling everything from lottery tickets to Diet Pickles to ATM Poker.  Nothing cost more than $8,000. Penny, Evan. That crazy, stretched sculpture simply stole the show. And $300,000 suddenly seemed like a good deal. Quinn, Marc. Penny might have got the most digital camera photos out of his two sculptures, but Quinn’s creations dominated the fair by appearing in seven booths and attracting plenty of foreign interest. Ryden, Mark. Paul Kasmin hit a $900,000 jackpot with his portrait of that curious, big-eyed girl. Stallone, Sylvester.  Yes that was really him hawking off  $50,000 paintings at Galerie Gmurzynska. Steve Wynn liked them and your aunt liked Rocky’s autograph. Toledano, Philip. The photographer’s "America: The Gift Shop" highlights were our undisputed favorites at Scope. Remember his name. Uffner, Rachel. We thoroughly appreciated Sara Greenberger Rafferty’s prints at the Orchard Street based gallery booth. Viktor & Rolf. The ingenious Dutch fashion duo hit Basel for the first time and served caviar at The Webster. However, they failed to deliver one of those awesome holed out dresses to the South Beach. W South Beach. This was the first Basel for W and they didn’t disappoint by hosting up to five events nightly, having Peter Brant poolside, Naomi Campbell in the lobby, and Vito Schnabel on the balcony at all times. Xu, Zen. Plus Xiang Liqing, Xue Song, and Yang Fudong at Shanghart. High stakes Chinese art is here to stay and the super gallery was full force in Miami with multiple Shanghai based superstars. Yablonsky, Linda. She can hit the clubs with the best of them. Did you see those moves at 2 AM at Aby Rosen’s dinner after-party at the W? We sure did. Zipp, Thomas. The German showed in eight galleries, sold more than most, and proved that he can rock out at Basel here and in Switzerland. [gallery columns="4"]
