This year marks the 20th anniversary of Art Basel’s arrival on Miami’s shores. A small but diligent community of local collectors—among them the Bramans, the Rubells, and Craig Robinson—had convinced both fair and city officials that Miami Beach was the next stop on the art-world circuit, the ideal meeting place between the markets of Europe and the Americas.
Over the course of those 20 years, ABMB has evolved into a gargantuan force, distinguished by both high-volume, high-priced art sales and spectacular hedonism.
It cost only $5,000 for galleries to participate in the fair’s inaugural Art Positions, a sector dedicated to young galleries and emerging artists. The catch: the booths were actually off-site shipping containers, with no protection from the heat. A young Bradford transformed Lombard-Freid’s container into his mother’s L.A. salon, where he was still doing hair and sourcing beauty supplies central to his collages at the time.
