ART BASEL MIAMI 2025

The 23rd edition unites 283 leading galleries from 43 countries and territories, foregrounding the voices, histories, and innovations that define the American art scene today — within a truly global conversation.

Art Basel Miami Beach returns to the Miami Beach Convention Center this December, platforming the most vital artistic currents of the Americas and beyond. Now in its 23rd edition, the fair presents 283 galleries, including 48 first-time participants, affirming its position as the premier meeting point for Modern and contemporary art in the Western Hemisphere. The show runs December 5–7, 2025, with Preview Days on December 3–4, and its Global Lead Partner is UBS.

“Art Basel Miami Beach stands at the intersection of culture and the market a platform where artistic vision and economic energy converge to define what comes next,” said Bridget Finn, Director, Art Basel Miami Beach. “Each edition responds to the urgency and ambition of its moment while laying groundwork for the future. In 2025, we bring together exceptional galleries, artists, and patrons in an environment defined by rigor, exchange, and possibility.” 

As the premier fair of the Americas, Art Basel Miami Beach offers a panoramic view of the region’s artistic production within a global framework, underscoring the dialogue between North and South America and their shared histories of migration, innovation, and cultural cross-pollination in conversation with Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. This year’s edition highlights Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic practices and re-examines Modernism through a trans-hemispheric lens, from mid-century masters to contemporary voices remapping the canon. 

“The 2025 edition foregrounds the multiplicity of American art — not as a single narrative but as a constellation of perspectives,” said Vincenzo de Bellis, Chief Artistic Officer and Global Director of Fairs, Art Basel. “From Indigenous modernisms to emergent diasporic practices and digital forms, the fair traces how artists throughout the Americas continue to reshape global artistic imagination.”

Across its core sectors — Galleries, Positions, Nova, and Survey — the fair presents Modern and contemporary work of the highest caliber, reflecting an expanded commitment to curatorial depth, geographic breadth, and historical rediscovery. Meridians returns as the curatorial epicenter under Yasmil Raymond with the theme The Shape of Time, and a revitalized Conversations program brings artists, collectors, and thinkers together for three days of live debate and visionary exchange opening with a full day devoted to art and sport with celebrated athletes and featuring the return of daily Digital Dialogues. 

Exhibition Sectors

Art Basel Miami Beach is structured across several exhibition sectors, including:

• Galleries, the fair’s main sector, in which leading Modern, postwar, and contemporary art dealers present the full breadth of their program
• Nova, for galleries presenting works created within the last three years by up to three artists
• Positions, for young galleries showcasing ambitious solo presentations by emerging artists
• Survey, dedicated to galleries highlighting artistic practices of historical relevance

Curated by Eli Scheinman, Art Basel’s Zero 10 debuts in Miami Beach as a new global initiative for art of the digital era, before expanding to select Art Basel fairs in 2026. Presented with the support of OpenSea, the initiative connects leading and next-generation artists, studios, galleries, and digital innovators with Art Basel’s global curatorial and market ecosystem. Featuring 12 international exhibitors in its inaugural edition, Zero 10 establishes a new benchmark for how digital art is exhibited, contextualized, and collected today. 

The edition also marks the U.S. premiere of the Art Basel Awards, presented in partnership with BOSS, and the unveiling of the inaugural Gold Awards on Thursday, December 4. Honoring 11 outstanding practitioners and institutions across visual art and adjacent creative fields, the Awards celebrate excellence, innovation, and collaboration within the global contemporary art ecosystem. Conceived as a platform for creative achievement and cross-disciplinary dialogue, the initiative reflects Art Basel’s commitment to championing visionary figures shaping the future of art and culture. 

Alongside these initiatives, a constellation of partnerships across fashion, design, technology, and hospitality underscores Art Basel’s role as a catalyst for artistic discovery and collaboration strengthening the cross-disciplinary networks that sustain and propel the world’s most dynamic art market. 

This year’s fair foregrounds Modernism’s global dialogues, tracing how artists across continents reimagined perception and form to forge new visual vocabularies throughout the twentieth century. Collectively, these presentations invite a renewed reading of the Modernist canon through transcontinental dialogue and experimentation.

Anchoring the fair, the Galleries sector reunites 226 leading dealers from across the Americas, Europe, and beyond, presenting the full breadth of their programs from museum-quality works by twentieth century masters to defining statements of the present. Reflecting both continuity and renewal, blue-chip galleries share the floor with established and emerging programs, while a new generation of exhibitors from the United States and Latin America underscores the fair’s expanding reach as a nexus of artistic and cultural exchange across the hemisphere.

This year’s edition will foreground the most urgent artistic currents shaping the American scene today, with a particular focus on Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic positions. Reflecting Miami Beach’s unique position at the crossroads of North and South America, the fair offers a panoramic view of the region’s creative influence within a global context.

Bridget Finn, Director, Art Basel Miami Beach, said:

“The strength and caliber of this year’s exhibitors reaffirms Art Basel Miami Beach’s centrality within the global art ecosystem. This edition reflects the vitality of artistic production across the Americas—which continues to shape contemporary art practice, patronage, and discourse worldwide—and the fair’s role as a critical gateway for introducing pioneering international artists and perspectives to the American market. It is bold, rigorous, and attuned to the moment.”
