Miami-based writer Jon Warech has covered entertainment and pop culture for Us Weekly and AOL’S Mandatory.com. His work has also appeared in the New York Daily News, Vibe, The Miami Herald, and ESPN the Magazine, among other publications. In this issue, Warech sits down with Miami Heat legend Rony Seikaly, fills us in on all the happenings at the 15th Art Basel Miami Beach, and more. What was the vibe at Art Basel this year? As always, Art Basel felt like a huge success. This year there seemed to be more of a New York and LA presence than in past years. There was a real focus on the art, and the parties seemed more intimate and VIP, yet there was still the same star power and energy, which was impressive.
