"Among the galleries at Art Basel [in] Miami Beach, which runs through Sunday, you will find, as always, a mix of blue-chip trophies, rising talents…and genuine discoveries."

Jason Farago | The New York Times

"The Miami fair, so long associated with beachside glitz and glamour (is) now increasingly a platform for highly politicised art. “There’s no question that this is a serious fair, it’s Art Basel in America, and therefore a place for issues and works that are emerging out of the situation of America at the moment,” says Simon Gowing, director at Tanya Leighton."

Melanie Gerlis | Financial Times

"Die aktuelle Ausgabe der Art Basel Miami Beach überzeugt – einmal mehr und nicht überraschend – mit Qualität, vielleicht ist sie sogar besonders gut, so jedenfalls manche Händler, die schon seit Jahren dabei sind."

"[The current edition of Art Basel in Miami Beach is convincing - once again, and not surprisingly - through its quality. Perhaps [this year] is particularly good as stated by some dealers who have been participating for years.]"
