Art Basel Miami Beach, which fills the first weekend of every December, is the most important art fair in the Americas. It is also, if possible, the most annoying, so ferociously focused on buying and selling that the works could almost be pork bellies. The only way to enjoy it, I decided, was to pretend I was in the market for bacon. For the fair's tenth anniversary edition, I raided petty cash for $10 million—in Monopoly money—and went on a spree. This Web gallery presents the dozen works that I "bought" at Art Basel. (To read what it felt like for an art critic to do all that buying, see the article on my spree.)
