Art Miami
Claudio Gallina, Cuaderno escolar rescatado e intervenido, at Art Miami.
If you want to see art, the best spot in the United States is Miami Beach Dec 5-9, 2012. There are more than 15 art fairs open that weekend -- too many to see if your time is short. If you have limited time, one of the shows you need to go out of your way to see is Art Miami. The event consistently has interesting art you won't see anywhere else.
Graciela Sacco, El reportero de la serie Tension Admisible, Osborne Samuel at Art Miami. Art Miami opens for VIP preview on Tuesday, then opens to the public on Wednesday.
Chester Arnold, Collection, Catharine Clark Gallery at Art Miami. One advantage to going to Art Miami is that it's in the Wynwood District, and once you're there, you'll be surrounded by other art events. You can start seeing the private collections at 9 a.m. (before the fairs open). After the fairs close, many of the galleries in the area will be open late. 
Ben Aronson at Art Miami. To maximize your time, plan to stay all day in Wynwood once you're there. (If you try to shuttle from Wynwood to Art Basel Miami Beach in the afternoon, you can spend a lot of time stuck in traffic.) There will be plenty to see in Wynwood, enough for two full days.
Susan Grossman, 7th Avenue, Jerald Melberg at Art Miami. Red Dot Miami is a block from Art Miami, at 3011 NE 1st Ave. 
Gao Rong, Mailbox, foam, cloth and embroidery, Eli Klein at Art Miami. Scope and Art Asia are close by at NE 1st Ave (Midtown Blvd) and NE 30th St.
Jim Dine, Hand Colored Tools, Pace Prints at Art Miami.
Also worth visiting is the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse at 591 NW 27th Street, a private collection. The Margulies Collection is open during Art Basel 9-4; Sunday, 9-2.
Liu Bolin, Hiding in New York, No. 3 - Magazine rack, Eli Klein at Art Miami. (To find the artist, start at the bottom. Find his shoes in the middle of the photograph and go from there.) The Rubell Family Collection is worth visiting in Wynwood at 95 NW 29th Street. It opens at 9 a.m., so you can get an early start. The exhibit rotates twice a year from their large holdings.
Tianhong Shang at Art Miami. The Design District is about a mile away from Wynwood; it has a number of galleries and the De La Cruz Collection is at 23 NE 41st Street.
Harding Meyer, Untitled, at Art Miami. There will be shuttles and plenty of cabs around Art Miami. Bus service gets within five blocks. You'll usually be able to find a cab at any of the art locations in Wynwood and the Design Districts, but if you wander away from an art site during Art Basel, unoccupied cabs will be few and far between.
David Bates, Arthur Roger Gallery at Art Miami. Other art fairs in Miami the same weekend that you might be interested in: Other pages on art that you might be interested in:
