We were taken on a personal tour of the PULSE Art Fair, Miami 2012 with the festival’s director Cornell DeWitt. A youthful and well-informed director, he shared his passion and enthusiasm for the artists and galleries exhibiting this year during the time he spent with us. We asked him about the highlights of PULSE as well as some insights of what makes this art fair one that is not to be overlooked amongst the 27 others that have descended on Miami during these first weeks of December.
