Miami looks good—especially in December, when it is dripping with art, jewels and champagne (not to mention stylish people). Over the past 15 years, our photographers have captured some incredible images during Art Basel in Miami Beach, from artist-made inflatables on parade to King Kong climbing a cabinet. Here are some of our favourites from the archive. Enjoy!
