From December 6 through 9, 2007, Florida, USA, will be

is the favorite winter meeting place of the international art
world. 200 leading galleries from the USA, Canada,

artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Special sectors feature
new art works, curated exhibitions, video and sound
lounges, a performance program, an Open Air Cinema,
and art in public spaces. 20 young galleries will present

emerging and renowned artists in an experimental group
show. There is also a Guest Lounge offering a concentrated

for museum-quality masterpieces. Its prominent list of participants

show of the Americas for 20th-century classics and contemporary
