Event Details

Art Basel's stalwart fair in Miami will host 286 leading international galleries presenting the best of their world-class programs, including 34 first-time participants, marking the fair's largest cohort of newcomers since 2008.
Reflecting the fair's singular position at the geographic and creative nexus of North and South America, Art Basel Miami Beach will showcase historical rediscoveries and bold, contemporary proposals from leading galleries in the Americas as well as premier international exhibitors whose programs attend to artistic production in the region. Nearly two-thirds of exhibitors at this year's show hail from the Americas, representing the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, Peru, and Uruguay – a testament to Art Basel's mission to platform artistic excellence in the region and to support discovery and generative collaboration between regional and international art scenes and markets.
Art Basel Miami Beach will be structured across several exhibition sectors: 
Galleries
The fair’s main sector, in which exhibitors present the full breadth of their program.
Nova
Platforming younger galleries presenting work created within the last three years by up to three artists
Positions
Dedicated to solo showcases of emerging galleries and artists
Survey
Featuring highly singular curatorial proposals of historically relevant works created before the year 2000. 
Meridians, the show's sector dedicated to projects that transcend the traditional art fair booth, will be curated for the first time this year by Yasmil Raymond, independent curator and outgoing Director of Portikus and Rector of the Hochschule für Bildende Künste-Städelschule. 
Conversations, Art Basel's renowned talks program curated for the first time in Miami Beach by Kimberly Bradley, will kick off with a Premiere Artist Talk highlighting the career and practice of famed Iranian artist Shirin Neshat.
