Finding Room to Breathe (and Feel) at Art Basel Miami Beach
MIAMI BEACH — One of the things I find hardest about art fairs — particularly those held in convention centers and large exhibition halls — is their aesthetic.

They are difficult to sing, but at least two passersby have already loosened their tonsils and performed for the London space.
