Like the city that hosts it, Art Basel has become a sprawling megalopolis, filled above capacity and exceeding anything its founders envisioned. The art! The parties! The traffic! It’s the destination of the international set and bane of locals, who wait out the week to take back their streets. For the serious art collectors who descend, it’s sneakers by day and private dinners by night.
