With $3 billion worth of art offered at Art Basel Miami Beach alone, plus dozens more fairs, exhibitions, parties, and pop-ups going on, a guide is in order to navigate the events of Miami Art Week (through Dec. 7).

Hyperallergic has compiled the dates, places, and things to see (and be seen at) this week. Of note, a dedicated sale of blue chip secondary modern master works and contemporary art is on board the SeaFair Mega Yacht in the new Concept Art Fair. This nautical venue will debut “Pull of the Moon,” the video work made by Navajo artist Bert Benally and the Chinese artist-activist Ai Weiwei.

At Art Basel Miami Beach, Hirschl & Adler Modern presents Charles Ephraim Burchfield's Lilacs, No. 2.

Art Basel Miami Beach, the anchor fair of the 20-plus held during the week and the country’s biggest contemporary art fair, could lure crowds surpassing 75,000 this year. An invitation-only Private View on Wednesday, December 3, is followed by a Vernissage on Thursday. There will be 267 galleries, including Christophe Van de Weghe (New York), showing works by Christopher Wool and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Pace Gallery (New York/London) will exhibit a David Hockney and Frank Stella is on view from Mnuchin Gallery (New York).

The Survey sector of Art Basel Miami Beach presents historically-themed art projects from 13 galleries, such as the retrospective of American Precisionist Ralston Crawford presented by Menconi + Schoelkopf (New York). 

In its 25th year, Art Miami, the original and longest-running contemporary and modern art fair in the city, will present more than 125 top galleries representing 750 artists from 42 countries. The fair will take place December 2-7 in the Wynwood Arts District.

Among the Art Miami highlights will be street artist Banksy at Kezsler Gallery, a selection of photographs by postwar giant Cy Twombly at James Barron Fine Art, and Peruvian artist Cecilia Paredes at the Diana Lowenstein Gallery.

Cy Twombly – Light Flowers, Gaeta, 2008. Twombly's photographs, featuring unfocused color images of tulips, trees and ancient busts, are based on the artist's Polaroids. A selection will be showcased at the James Barron Fine Art booth at Art Miami.
