Art Basel Miami, one of the biggest nomadic camps for contemporary art, wrapped up yesterday. Writing about the fair, CFile Editor Garth Clark said it appeared as though clay and ceramics were less of a presence, but were well-represented in terms of quality. We kept our eyes open through the weekend for more ceramics on offer from some of the 270 galleries who participated. Information about the work is accompanied by a link to the gallery.

I wondered if you saw Design Miami last year? There were interesting ceramic pieces that were quite varied. Green flocked figures, delicate ceramics with super cool surfaces and more. I found it quite exciting.
