This year's Art Basel Miami Beach featured 267 leading international galleries from 32 countries and attracted an attendance of 77,000 people over the five show days.

This piece by Jimmie Durham, titled "Still Life With Xitle and Spirit," is made of a car, volcanic stone, and acrylic paint.



"Ladies and Gentlemen" by artist Hassan Sharif is made entirely of shoes. "Sharif, who is based in Dubai, is known for creating works that address daily life through the use of pedestrian materials, and this composition, with its dangling shoelaces and red-soled heels, is no exception," writes Artnet.



Artist Andrei Koschmieder made what looked like weed out of glass, paper, epoxy resin, and spray paint. Each sculpture costs $9,500.
