dates, Art Basel actually opens Dec. 3 with a showing to people who have been issued identification cards. "The card means that they are serious art collectors, or from museums or other institutions," he explained. The fair is open to the public the next day. A Friday night art film is shown each year. This year's selection is "Big Eyes," by Tim Burton, and it is being shown at the Colony Theater. The public is also invited to free "art conversations" with experts each morning before the fair opens, and there are also opportunities to hear lectures and roundtable discussions, Mr. Goodman said. A sculpture installation at Collins Park, adjacent to the Bass Museum, is also open to the public. Because all purchases are private, the show organizers can't say how much money changes hands, but its economic impact is obvious, he said. "If you are coming to Art Basel in Miami, you have to ship
the art, insure it, have someone who is an art specialist unpack it, set it up in your booth," he said. "You have to fly staff here, house them in a hotel for five to seven days, feed them. You have all those expenses at end of day, so you have to sell art. We derive our income from the rental http/IWWN.miamitodayneVvS.com'2014/ 11/261big-art-basel-inllux-wayi
