Miami Beach, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/10/2014 --“Party in the city where the heat is on, all night on the beach till the break of the dawn. Welcome to Miami and Bienvenido a Miami,” lyrics from Will Smith’s song sums up Miami’s notorious lifestyle.

Miami is known for its white sand covered beaches that is often hotspots for photo, film and TV shoots. It attracts thousands of beach lovers all over the world and is notorious for scantily clad ladies. Off shore, Ocean drive boosts historic and colourful art deco buildings converted into stylish hotels. Along the sidewalk are lavish restaurants, trendy café and buzzing hip clubs that make up Miami’s nightlife. Behind Ocean drive are chic boutiques and minimalist art-galleries. It is a real estate heaven. It’s not surprising many Hollywood Celebrities made this sprawling beach an affluent and sought after residential area. Miami is considered one of the world’s most expensive and classy commercial and residential estates.

Art has always been associated with the rich and wealthy who can afford to buy these lucrative investments. Market for Art recently bloated to an all-time high record. A 1969 triptych, "Three Studies of Lucian Freud" by Francis Bacon, was sold for whooping $142.4 million. Prior to that, the record was $119.9 million for a pastel version of Munch's "The Scream." The cataclysm of art prices has been caused by the economy’s downfall and globalization of the market. The Postwar and Contemporary Art sales now rival the historically dominant Impressionism and Modern categories. Much more on the younger generation of artists who are selling their work of art in bigger scale.
