Goldman Properties, the family-run developer that spearheaded the Walls project, now owns a pair of restaurants in Wynwood: a modern Italian café called Joey’s and the art-filled Wynwood Kitchen & Bar, whose covered dining patio overlooks the murals. The run-up to the latest edition of Art Basel also saw the opening of the Wood Tavern bar, a branch of the Miami Beach design shop Elemental, and clothing boutique Haus Fashion.

Back in Miami Beach, a few weeks after the fair has ended, event designer-cum-hotelier Barton G. Weiss still has Basel on the brain. “It’s a big party for six days, but it’s a party with a purpose,” says Weiss, who recently took over the former Versace mansion on Ocean Drive, rechristening the 10-suite Rococo hotel fantasy the Villa by Barton G. “I only wish it could be six months out of every year.”

He pauses to reconsider this. “Actually, Art Basel’s existence is year-round. It’s a whirlwind when it comes in, but even when it’s gone, it leaves behind all this art. It has changed businesses and changed lives, changed the landscape and the entire community. It gives Miami a whole different meaning, a new depth. It’s a total inspiration.”
