TruemorsFOR USE WITH AFP STORY US-Switzerland-art, by Juan Castro Olivera. Swiss artist Olaf Breuning's sand sculpture at South Beach in Miami Florida, on December 16, 2008. The work was commissioned by the Sagamore Hotel to celebrate Art Basel Miami. �It�s not sellable,� Breuning said of the tons of sand that have been shaped into a busty, abstract-faced sunbather. Collectors at Art Basel Miami Beach have refused to let a US recession stop them from snapping up competitive deals. The 2008 show, the sister event of Art Basel in Switzerland, does not release official figures, but curators here report sales have fallen -- in some cases dramatically -- compared with recent years.
