Basel, Switzerland – June 10, 2013 – After the toast to kick off Design Miami/ Basel 2013 at the original Art Basel fair in Basel, Switzerland on Sunday, everyone was ready to check out the art on Monday. Yesterday was the special invite-only Vernissage where the galleries opened to select VIPs and collectors to get a first look at the entire fair. Among those browsing the collections were award-winning architect Zaha Hadid and Miami Design District pioneer Craig Robins. Over 4,000 exhibitors come from 300 leading galleries the world over to showcase a wide variety of art genres and talent. There’s the art fair itself along with other events, symposiums, films, and artist talks. The week is just getting started, so stay tuned to see more as World Red Eye continues to bring you all the artsy excitement from Switzerland all week long.
