Art Basel Miami Beach returns this December with a focus on ‘Latinx, Indigenous, and emergent voices’, with 285 galleries from 44 countries and territories preparing to show their work.
The ambitious lineup will be on show at the Miami Beach Convention Center from 5 to 7 December, with over two thirds hailing from the Americas and first-time Ukrainian representation from Voloshyn Gallery, who also operate an outpost in Miami Beach.
Director Bridget Finn said the 2025 edition will ‘[reflect] the vitality of artistic production across the Americas’ and ‘[introduce] pioneering international artists and perspectives to the American market’ with an approach that is ‘bold, rigorous, and attuned to the moment’.
The main sector will count mega-galleries Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, David Zwirner, and Pace, alongside international galleries like Italy’s Galleria Continua, London’s Edel Assanti, Berlin’s Galerie Thomas Schulte, Swedish Galerie Nordenhake, and Tokyo’s Nanzuka.
New York will be represented by Paula Cooper Gallery, Alexander Gray Associates, and Theta, while close to 50 galleries will fly from the West Coast, including Los Angeles galleries like David Kordansky Gallery, Regen Projects, The Pit, and San Francisco’s Catharine Clark Gallery.
Meanwhile, a Latin American and Caribbean presence will be felt with galleries like El Apartemento in Cuba, Mexico City’s OMR, and Lima’s Crisis.
On 4 December, Art Basel will award the 12 medals for its inaugural Art Basel Awards, which saw 36 entities nominated in May, including major artists like Joan Jonas, Lubaina Himid, Cecilia Vicuña, and David Hammons, through a peer-selection process. —[O]
