This worked well for collectors. Art is seen as a safe place to invest, and galleries reported satisfactory sales, especially in resale art sales. Art Basel is an unusual market place where collectors have a chance to purchase hundreds of museum quality works. Among the collectors seen at Art Basel were representatives of the U.C.L.A. Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and private collectors David Tieger, Don Rubell. Over 250 galleries from around the world participated in Art Basel 2010.   Works of art www.jaimeizquierdo.com Jaime Izquierdo graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy  of the Fine Arts.  He studied painting with American artisis Sidney Goodman , Nelson Shanks., Lou Sloan., Jody Pinto, among others Jaime was the winner of the prestigious "Cecilia Beaux Portrait Award" in 1984.   THE BASS MUSEUM OF ART The Bass Museum opened an exhibit by artist Isaac Julien, to celebrate Art Basel 2010. The show includes various works developed in the last ten years. Isaac described the development of the work, during a talk held as part of the Art Basel program. The Bass has set up the work in a private gallery manner. The new gallery space and design allow the viewer to explore individual pieces at a comfortable pace. The works by Isaac Julien include film and photography pieces presented in large scale format and perfectly set within the gallery space designed by architect Arata Isozaki in 2001. The Bass Museum director Silvia Karman Cubina and artist Isaac Julien worked closely for the past two years to bring this exhibit together. The exhibit runs through March 6, 2011.
