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 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.

Highlights include:

• Berry Campbell (New York) revisits women’s contributions to Abstract Expressionism through works by Alice Baber, Bernice Bing, Elaine de Kooning, Lynne Drexler, Helen Frankenthaler, Judith Godwin, and Ethel Schwabacher, including a large-scale Drexler painting from the 1960s, the artist’s most important period. The gallery also debuts the estates of sculptor Mary Ann Unger and painter Louisa Chase, expanding the historical narrative of postwar American abstraction.
• Johyun Gallery (Busan, Seoul) makes its Miami Beach debut with a booth under the theme Matter and Time, Coincidence and Intervention, featuring Park Seo-Bo, Lee Bae, Kishio Suga, Lee Kwang-Ho and Bosco Sodi. The presentation spans five decades of process-based abstraction — from Park’s meditative Écriture works to Suga’s interventions with raw materials and Sodi’s pigment-rich clay surfaces — underscoring shared concerns with time, gesture, and transformation.
• Sicardi Ayers Bacino (Houston) assembles key works by Latin American masters who redefined optical, geometric, and conceptual art. Centered on Lygia Clark’s O dentro é o fora (The Inside is the Outside) (1963), a pivotal metal construction marking the culmination of her Bichos series, the booth includes Carlos Cruz-Diez’s Physichromie Panam (2015), a late example of his kinetic exploration of color, and works by León Ferrari, Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt), Mercedes Pardo, Fanny Sanín, and Xul Solar, collectively illuminating Latin America’s foundational role in postwar abstraction.
• Tornabuoni Art (Florence, Paris, Milan, Rome, Forte dei Marmi, Crans Montana) unites Italian postwar pioneers Alighiero Boetti, Alberto Burri, and Dadamaino, centered on Boetti’s Mappa series (1971–94) — intricate embroidered cartographies that chart geopolitical flux. The booth also features Lucio Fontana’s Concetto Spaziale, Attese (1967); Burri’s Combustione Plastica (1960), a rare painting created through controlled burning; a dream-like Piazza d’Italia (1950–51) by Giorgio de Chirico; and Dadamaino’s Oggetto ottico dinamico indeterminato (1963–65), recently shown at the Centre Pompidou and the Guggenheim Bilbao in Women in Abstraction.
• Locks Gallery (Philadelphia) surveys seven decades of American modernism through works by Louise Bourgeois, Isamu Noguchi, Robert Motherwell, and Lynda Benglis, alongside paintings by Willem de Kooning, Pat Steir, Mary Corse, Jennifer Bartlett, and Edna Andrade. From Noguchi’s biomorphic forms to Benglis’s poured latex and metal pieces, and from Motherwell’s gestural canvases to Corse’s luminous minimalist surfaces, the presentation reveals the formal and conceptual evolution of abstraction across sculpture and painting.
• Van de Weghe (New York) presents Grevy’s Zebra (1983), Andy Warhol’s vivid silkscreen from his Endangered Species series, alongside two Alexander Calder sculptures: a painted-metal work from c. 1938 and a sheet-metal and wire construction from c. 1949.
• Alisan Fine Arts (Hong Kong, New York) joins Art Basel Miami Beach for the first time with a historical showcase of Chinyee, Walasse Ting, and Ming Fay — three Chinese American artists whose pioneering yet underrecognized contributions bridge Eastern and Western abstraction through lyrical color, gesture, and philosophy.
• Mayoral (Paris, Barcelona) stages a transatlantic encounter between Spain’s postwar avant-garde and its Caribbean echoes. The booth juxtaposes Joan Miró’s Femme, Oiseaux (1975), painted shortly after Francisco Franco’s death and acquired directly from the artist’s family, with works by Antoni Tàpies, Manolo Millares, Eduardo Chillida, and Wifredo Lam, who is currently the subject of a major U.S. retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Works by contemporary painters Marria Pratts and Rachel Valdés extend these legacies into the present.

Galleries from across the region revisit cultural inheritances through process-driven approaches, historical reflection, and social imagination. Intergenerational dialogues reveal the breadth of artistic practice in Latin America and the Caribbean today, bridging geographies and perspectives and affirming Art Basel Miami Beach’s role as a vital platform for exchange between the Global South and North.

Highlights include:

• Leon Tovar Gallery (New York, Bogotá) spotlights three trailblazing women of Latin American modernism — Feliza Bursztyn, Tecla Tofano, and Emma Reyes — whose radical approaches to sculpture, ceramics, and painting combined personal narrative with political critique. Bursztyn’s welded assemblages, Tofano’s satirical clay figures, and Reyes’s vividly painted recollections of everyday life each embody a distinct form of feminist resistance within the Modernist canon.
• Galleries newcomer Galatea (São Paulo, Salvador) and Isla Flotante (Buenos Aires) collaborate for the first time in a presentation that bridges generations of Latin American experimentation, bringing together postwar masters Adario dos Santos, Lygia Clark, Rubem Valentim, Mira Schendel, and Antonio Dias with younger voices including Mariela Scafati, Pablo Accinelli, and Rosario Zorraquín.
• El Apartamento (Havana, Madrid, Miami) — Art Basel Miami Beach newcomer and the first Cuban gallery founded on the island to participate — considers the notion of otherness as both a site of exclusion and a tool for cultural affirmation, with works by Diana Fonseca, Ariamna Contino, Roberto Diago, Orestes Hernández, and Miki Leal. From Diago’s textured wooden reliefs addressing Afro-Cuban identity to Fonseca’s urban fragments and Contino’s intricate cut-paper works, the artists collectively explore symbolic and political difference within and beyond the Cuban context.
• A Gentil Carioca (Rio de Janeiro) convenes artists examining migration, belonging, and collective agency across the Afro-Atlantic and Indigenous Americas. Arjan Martins’ cartographic paintings of diasporic movement are shown alongside Agrade Camíz’s textile-based installations and Denilson Baniwa’s multimedia reinterpretations of Amazonian cosmology. Works by OPAVIVARÁ! and Renata Lucas invite viewer participation, translating civic imagination into shared spatial experience.
• Almeida & Dale (São Paulo) presents Maxwell Alexandre (in a solo Kabinett presentation within the booth), Tunga, José Leonilson, Jaider Esbell, Alex Červený, Ivan Campos, Rebeca Carapiá, Lidia Lisbôa, and Alice Shintani, among other Brazilian artists, alongside Zimbabwean artist Moffat Takadiwa and Georgian-born Nino Kapanadze, whose practices expand the dialogue beyond Brazil. Takadiwa’s intricate wall sculptures fashioned from discarded materials and Kapanadze’s ethereal, light-driven paintings highlight shared sensibilities across diverse geographies, exploring ideas of transformation, memory, and connection.
• Mendes Wood DM (São Paulo, Brussels, Paris, New York) brings together new and recent works by Paulo Nazareth, Sonia Gomes, Rosana Paulino, Pol Taburet, and Mimi Lauter, whose practices collectively span painting, sculpture, and textile. Taburet’s vivid portraits, and Lauter’s luminous pastel compositions evoke the material and emotional textures of place and memory.
• kurimanzutto (Mexico City, New York) spotlights recent work by Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco that extends his long-standing exploration of geometry, chance, and perception. Developed in dialogue with his Samurai Tree series, recent paintings — including The Eye of Go (Blue) (2024) — apply Orozco’s rule-based systems of circular form and chromatic variation to new compositional rhythms, transforming diagrammatic precision into a meditation on movement and play.

The fair’s contemporary presentations capture the urgency and diversity of artistic practice today, where material investigation, identity, and ecological inquiry intersect. Spanning painting, sculpture, performance, and installation, they reflect the range of experimentation defining contemporary art across the hemisphere, from rising voices to established figures.

Highlights include:

• mor charpentier (Paris, Bogotá) offers a reflection on the body as a site of memory and resistance. Kader Attia, Teresa Margolles, Oscar Muñoz, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Bouchra Khalili, and Hajra Waheed are shown alongside Liliana Porter, Nohemí Pérez, and Manjot Kaur. Addressing migration, gendered violence, and environmental crisis through acts of witnessing and repair, the presentation traces a network of artists from Latin America, North Africa, and the Middle East redefining portraiture as a political and poetic form.
• Commonwealth and Council (Los Angeles) presents Beatriz Cortez, Carolina Caycedo, Clarissa Tossin, and Fidencio Fifield-Pérez, whose works connect ecological thinking with diasporic histories. Cortez’s hand-forged steel structures recall Mesoamerican metallurgic traditions, Caycedo’s suspended fabrics chart the movement of rivers and resistance, and Fifield-Pérez’s cut-paper maps reconstruct personal and collective journeys.
• DOCUMENT (Chicago, Lisbon) spotlights Julien Creuzet, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Erin Jane Nelson, Alexandra Barth, Anneke Euseen, and Faheem Majeed. Expanding the image into object and environment, Creuzet’s floor sculpture Attila cataracte (...) Shékéré, clefs, perles du Ghana (2024), exhibited in the French Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale, appears alongside Nelson’s four-part ceramic wall work Underbush (2025), mapping the ecology of the American Southwest and Southeast.
• Sikkema Malloy Jenkins (New York) stages a cross-media dialogue among artists from its program: Sheila Hicks and Teresa Lanceta present woven compositions rooted in craft and abstraction; Jeffrey Gibson and William Cordova extend Indigenous and diasporic vocabularies to contemporary cultural systems; Kara Walker’s paper-cut silhouette subverts symbols of America’s national mythology; and Erin Shirreff and Vik Muniz play with ideas of perception, material, and artistic value through varying modes of image production.
• James Cohan Gallery (New York) brings together works by Jordan Nassar, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Naudline Pierre, Kelly Sinnapah Mary, Kennedy Yanko, and Yinka Shonibare CBE, whose practices reconsider the circulation of material histories across continents. Nguyen’s sculptures crafted from unexploded bomb metal — embodying concepts of material memory and transformation — appear alongside Nassar’s embroidered geometries inspired by Palestinian craft, Pierre’s visionary figuration, Yanko’s sculptural forms composed of paint skins and found metal, and Shonibare’s bronze sculpture reimagining the traditional monument as a weightless, billowing form cast from his signature Dutch wax fabric.
• von Bartha (Basel, Copenhagen) presents new paintings by Chilean-Swiss artist Francisco Sierra from his ongoing O Sole Mio series (begun in 2016), which turns the overexposed image of the sunset into a site of conceptual and painterly inquiry. Known for his surreal, technically precise approach to figuration, Sierra’s luminous works are shown alongside a sculpture by Argentine neon pioneer Gyula Kosice from 1946 — the year he co-founded the Arte Madí movement with Carmelo Arden Quin, and Rhod Rothfuss and published its manifesto — and new bronze casts by Erin Shirreff, whose recent sculptural series translates the provisional forms of her photographic practice into enduring material presence.
• Casa Triângulo (São Paulo) presents Brazilian painter and printmaker Antonio Henrique Amaral and São Paulo–based multidisciplinary collective assume vivid astro focus (avaf). Amaral’s expressive paintings from the 1960s and 70s confront political violence and desire, while avaf's immersive canvas installation — echoing the group's current project at Miami’s Bass Museum, originally installed in the home of collectors Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz — appears alongside works by Joana Vasconcelos, Eduardo Berliner, and Matias Duville, who will represent Argentina at the forthcoming 61st Venice Biennale.

Forty-nine galleries join Art Basel Miami Beach for the first time, reaffirming the fair’s commitment to discovery and support of emerging programs worldwide. Of these, 19 enter the Galleries sector directly, while an additional 11 return following previous participation in Nova, Positions, or Survey — illustrating the fair’s ongoing cultivation of younger galleries within its ecosystem.  

Among the standout presentations from this cohort: 

• Cristin Tierney Gallery (New York) unveils new works by Dread Scott, Jorge Tacla, and Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos); recent works by Malia Jensen, Roger Shimomura, and Julian V.L. Gaines; and a daily durational performance by Tim Youd, probing the concept of American identity ahead of the United States Semiquincentennial. 
• Nina Johnson (Miami) makes its Art Basel Miami Beach debut with new paintings by Patrick Dean Hubbell, which weave Diné cosmology, language, and textile traditions into abstract compositions that bridge Indigenous epistemologies and contemporary form.
• Dastan Gallery (Tehran, Toronto) introduces a new generation of Iranian artists engaging the geometric and narrative traditions of Persian miniature painting, with works by Maryam Ayeen & Abbas Shashasvar, Farah Ossouli, Homa Delvaray, and Hoda Kashiha.
• Richard Saltoun Gallery (London, Rome, New York) presents four pioneering Latin American artists: Cossette Zeno, Elizam Escobar, Marcelo Benítez, and Olga de Amaral. This marks the first-ever art fair presentations of Zeno, a 95-year-old postwar Surrealist artist, whose erotic, psychological paintings took the Parisian art world by storm in the 1950s, and Escobar, whose political works, made while imprisoned in the U.S., use the human figure to critique colonialism and power. Argentinian psychologist and LGBTQ+ activist Benítez explores identity and resistance through drawing and text, and Colombian artist de Amaral’s tactile, gold- and fiber-based sculptures evoke cultural memory and sacred space.
• Vadehra Art Gallery (New Delhi) foregrounds pioneering feminist and queer perspectives from South Asia, with paintings by Nalini Malani and photographs by Sunil Gupta, including Gupta's seminal 1983 series Towards an Indian Gay Image.
• PKM Gallery (Seoul) assembles works by Benjamin Hyunjin, Chung Hyun, SAMBYPEN, and Cody Choi tracing the interplay of modern Korean aesthetics and global experimentation in a presentation that spans painting, sculpture, and digital installation.
• Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery (Sydney) features Sir Isaac Julien’s Diasporic Dream Space Diptych from his acclaimed series Statues Never Die; new works by Daniel Boyd and Dhambit Mununggurr exploring Aboriginal and Yolŋu histories; a large-scale portrait by Del Kathryn Barton; resin paintings by Dale Frank; and photography by Bill Henson. Works by Jim Lambie and James Angus further anchor the booth through investigations of rhythm, space, and perception.

Returning exhibitors Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery (Sydney), SMAC Art Gallery (Cape Town, Stellenbosch), and Weinstein Gallery (San Francisco) also make their Galleries debut, alongside ACA Galleries (New York), Aicon Gallery (New York), Galerie Judin (Berlin), MARCH (New York), Olney Gleason (New York), Galeria Marília Razuk (São Paulo), and Southern Guild (Cape Town, Los Angeles), who join the fair for the first time directly in the main sector.

Kabinett offers galleries the opportunity to present distinct, curated selections within their booths — projects that deepen engagement with individual artists and allow for focused narratives within the broader context of the fair. Across painting, printmaking, and sculptural installation, this year’s Kabinett presentations explore questions of legacy, material transformation, and the politics of form.

Highlights include:

• Gray (Chicago, New York): Gray presents Virtual Still Lifes, a focused installation dedicated to Roger Brown’s late-career series (1995–97). A central figure of the Chicago Imagists, Brown merged painting and assemblage to stage theatrical vignettes of American life — part satire, part spiritual allegory. Combining oil paintings with miniature objects, these works blur the line between landscape and still life, reality, and illusion. Rendered with Brown’s characteristic wit and precision, Virtual Still Lifes reflects on the domestic theater of collecting and the quiet surrealism embedded in everyday things.
• Canada (New York): Canada celebrates Marc Hundley’s decades-long practice of turning the personal into the public with Marc Hundley T-Shirts: 1997 to Now. The presentation features a wall of hand-stenciled and screen-printed T-shirts, each drawing from fragments of song lyrics, literature, and queer memory. Below them, a handmade bench and takeaway posters extend Hundley’s ethos of generosity and intimacy. Echoing the spirit of Hundley’s early zines and street flyers, the project functions as both archive and gesture — a meditation on art’s capacity to transmit memory and belonging.
• Mazzoleni (London, Turin, Milan): A concise selection of works from the 1950s–60s illuminates Cuban artist Wifredo Lam’s transcultural synthesis of Surrealism, Afro-Cuban spirituality, and postwar abstraction. Painted during his Italian years, these paintings reveal Lam’s lifelong dialogue between the spiritual and the political, bridging the Caribbean, Europe, and the Americas.

• Galerie Lelong (Paris, New York): Rarely exhibited drawings from the 1960s trace Etel Adnan’s turn toward the visual, capturing her fluid translation of language into form. Created amid the countercultural ferment of Northern California, the works — executed in watercolor and ink — pulse with the lyricism and introspection that define Adnan’s lifelong exploration of perception and place.
• Edel Assanti (London): Edel Assanti presents a selection of small-scale assemblages, sandstone works, and painted sculptures by Lonnie Holley, surveying two decades of his transformative practice. The works on view exemplify Holley’s ability to transform discarded materials into layered meditations on resilience, spirituality, and the Black experience. His works — part ritual, part reclamation — extend the American vernacular beyond the realms of myth and survival, conveying histories that are both autobiographical and collective. The presentation precedes exhibitions of Holley’s work at the Stedelijk Museum (Netherlands) and Castello di Rivoli (Italy) in 2026.
• Roberts Projects (Los Angeles): In honor of Betye Saar’s forthcoming centennial in 2026 — and coinciding with her recognition in the Icon Artist category of this year’s Art Basel Awards — Regen Projects debuts Lost and Found, a new site-specific installation by the American artist. Juxtaposing man-made and natural materials, Saar transforms an upright vintage boat into a shrine-like assemblage filled with found objects that evoke ancestral memory, spirituality, and personal history. Infused with organic textures and sensory presence, Lost and Found creates an immersive environment charged with sacred energy, reflecting on time, transformation, and the enduring power of ritual.
• Garth Greenan Gallery (New York): Garth Greenan Gallery presents a focused Kabinett dedicated to Sadao Hasegawa (1945–1999), known for his fantastical, richly referential homoerotic paintings. Drawing equally from the erotic illustrations of Tom of Finland and Go Mishima and the visual traditions of Southeast Asian mysticism, Japanese folklore, and Ovidian myth, Hasegawa’s work fuses sensuality with metaphysical inquiry. The display — staged in a low-lit violet interior — features four major works from the 1970s and early 1980s, including Untitled (1976), Toucan (1978), and In Compensation for Darkness (1980). These dazzling, mythic compositions, populated by chiseled figures and cosmic iconography, reveal Hasegawa’s vision of eroticism as both ecstatic release and spiritual transcendence.
• Jenkins Johnson Gallery (New York, San Francisco): Marking the centennial of Robert Colescott’s birth, this presentation revisits early paintings from the 1960s, created during the American artist’s formative years in Egypt and France. These vivid compositions anticipate the politically charged figuration that later defined his practice. Coinciding with major institutional retrospectives, the presentation reconsiders Colescott’s radical reworking of art history through satire, subversion, and color.
• Sies + Höke (Düsseldorf): In Allegories of Resistance and Hope, New York–based Canadian artist Marcel Dzama continues his fusion of myth and politics through new large-scale gouache and ink paintings. Populated by hybrid figures and dreamlike rituals, the works trace a poetic continuum between protest and play, anxiety and grace.

Now in its sixth edition, Meridians returns as the curatorial centerpiece of Art Basel Miami Beach — a stage for large-scale, institutional-grade works that expand the scope of what can be shown within the fair context. Curated by Yasmil Raymond — curator and former Rector of the Städelschule and Director of Portikus in Frankfurt — the 2025 edition, titled The Shape of Time, brings together a multigenerational and international group of artists whose practices examine how art can embody, distort, or suspend time itself.

Taking its title from George Kubler’s seminal 1962 text The Shape of Time: Remarks on the History of Things, this edition embraces Kubler’s proposition that artistic innovation unfolds within a broader continuum rather than through isolated stylistic breaks. Raymond’s curatorial framing positions the works in Meridians as temporal bridges, revealing how creative processes and aesthetic experimentation persist within a shared historical fabric, generating correspondences across generations and geographies.

As Raymond observes, “This year’s edition of Meridians contrasts conceptions of temporality, ranging from formal and symbolic notions of time to allegorical correspondences between the past and the present. Some reflect on the creative process as an event, while others explore the physical phenomenon of time and its observable effects, as captured through mechanical photography, video, and, more recently, computer systems."

Conceived as both exhibition and space of encounter, Meridians continues to expand the fair’s narrative of the Americas — not as a geography alone, but as a constellation of ideas and cultural exchanges. Together, the large-scale installations, immersive videos, and ambitious sculptures on view consider time as both a physical force and a social condition — offering new ways of thinking about history, technology, and human experience in relation to temporal flow and rupture.

Highlights include:

• Tang Contemporary Art (Beijing, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Seoul, Singapore): In Double Wing (2016), Huang Yong Ping — a pivotal figure of the Chinese avant-garde and founder of the Xiamen Dada movement in 1986 — turns to surrealism to reclaim the emancipatory power of myth. The monumental sculpture intertwines organic and mechanical elements, embodying the artist’s meditation on cycles of destruction and renewal and his sustained engagement with ideas of cultural identity and belief.
• Maruani Mercier (Brussels): Spanning nine photographic panels, Lyle Ashton Harris' The Watering Hole (1996) chronicles a decade of transformation in American culture and politics. Harris weaves personal and collective histories through archival imagery — from ACT UP activism to the 1992 Los Angeles uprisings — using the metaphor of the watering hole as both a site of rejuvenation and of violence. The work probes themes of ambivalence, intimacy, and survival.
• Peter Blum Gallery (New York): A new painting by Italian artist Luisa Rabbia reimagines Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo’s Il quarto stato (The Fourth Estate) (1901), transforming the march for labor and solidarity into a metaphysical meditation on collective presence. Through densely layered pigments that evoke human skin and topography, Rabbia’s The Network translates social unity into a symbolic landscape of breath and belonging.

• Freight+Volume (New York): In The Last Library IV: Written in Water (2020–25), Ward Shelley constructs a walk-in paper-and-wood installation filled with fabricated banned books and pseudo-documents. The work transforms the library — a symbol of accumulated knowledge — into a theater of contested truth, furnished with fake banned books and secret documents. Fusing sculpture, fiction, and social critique, Shelley explores the erosion of shared facts in an age of misinformation, asking whether truth itself can survive the collapse of consensus.
• Rolf Art (Buenos Aires): Argentine artist Silvia Rivas presents Buzzing (2009), an immersive, mural-scale video installation combining humor and existential unease. Through layered projection and sound, Rivas visualizes the passage of time — a lived tension between stasis and transformation — as both relentless and absurd.
• Galería RGR (Mexico City): A rare presentation of late Venezuelan artist Jesús Rafael Soto’s iconic Pénétrable (1992) invites viewers to enter a 16-foot-high cube composed of thousands of suspended filaments. Continuing Soto’s lifelong exploration of kinetic perception, the work dissolves the boundaries between body and space, proposing an experience of time as vibration — immersive, elastic, and continuous.
• Leila Heller Gallery (New York, Dubai): Syrian artist Kevork Mourad presents Memory Gates (2021), a walk-in paper installation where layered drawings form a labyrinthine architecture of memory. Suspended like fragments of an unfolding narrative, the piece reflects on collective and personal histories, suggesting remembrance itself as a construction in motion.
• Catharine Clark Gallery (San Francisco) and Ryan Lee (New York): In Neutral Calibration Studies (Ornament + Crime) (2016), Filipino-born American artist Stephanie Syjuco constructs an installation that interrogates the politics of representation through photography and display. Referencing Susan Sontag’s notion of an “ecology of images,” Syjuco charts how visual culture encodes race, authenticity, and power, translating these paradoxes into sculptural form.
• Library Street Collective (Detroit): For Intimacy of Throes (2024), Kennedy Yanko transforms industrial detritus into a sensuous, gravity-defying sculpture. Beginning in scrapyards, Yanko cuts and reshapes metal with torches before coating it in fluid, paint-skin surfaces that appear to breathe. The resulting form — at once weighty and ethereal — reclaims steel as a natural, almost bodily material, blurring distinctions between strength and vulnerability, industry and ecology.

Established in 2003, Nova has become a celebrated platform for discovering innovative work created within the last three years. This year, 23 galleries present 22 thematically focused booths — many of them solo presentations — that chart the newest trajectories in contemporary practice. Eight galleries join the sector for the first time.

Highlights include:

• Heidi (Berlin): First-time Art Basel Miami Beach participant Heidi presents a new series of scratch-off paintings by American-Jamaican artist Akeem Smith, drawn from his extensive archive of Caribbean Dancehall ephemera. The presentation marks the artist’s first U.S. solo since No Gyal Can Test (Red Bull Arts, 2020–21).
• Pequod Co. (Mexico City): Presenting Villa Purificación, a new body of work by Mexican artist Renata Petersen that extends her exploration of faith, gender, and power. Through hand-painted ceramic murals, vases, and a central blown-glass installation, Petersen constructs a kaleidoscopic environment that evokes cult architecture and vernacular shrines. Drawing from her mother’s fieldwork on spirituality across Latin America, she merges personal mythologies with collective belief systems to reflect on how devotion, control, and aesthetics intertwine.
• Candice Madey (New York): Making its Art Basel Miami Beach debut, Candice Madey presents a solo by American artist Liz Collins, whose work fuses art, fashion, and design through an experimental approach to textile. Collins unveils her most intricate needlepoints to date alongside new woven reliefs that blur distinctions between surface and structure, handcraft and abstraction — continuing her inquiry into queerness, tactility, and the politics of making.
• Silverlens (Manila, New York): In Between Ports, Silverlens pairs seminal Filipino artist Bernardo Pacquing with London-based emerging artist Nicole Coson, bridging generations and geographies through material transformation. Pacquing’s tactile assemblages, made from Manila’s urban detritus, channel improvisation and resilience, while Coson’s monochromatic “print paintings” and 3D-printed Vanitas sculptures transform packaging into reflections on trade and migration. Together, their works meditate on movement, memory, and the unseen economies shaping contemporary life.
• Luis De Jesus Los Angeles (Los Angeles): Hugo Crosthwaite’s Ex-Voto series reinterprets devotional painting as storytelling at the U.S.–Mexico border. Each acrylic and colored pencil vignette chronicles acts of survival and grace drawn from the artist’s decades-long observation of the Tijuana crossing. The presentation extends Crosthwaite’s narrative realism into a meditation on migration, resilience, and faith.

For young galleries showcasing ambitious solo presentations by rising artists

Positions offers collectors, curators, and institutions a deeper encounter with singular, forward-looking practices through solo booths by emerging artists. This year, 16 galleries participate - 10 of them newcomers - presenting works that probe materiality, perception, and the post-human condition.

Highlights include:

• Nicoletti (London): French artist Josèfa Ntjam presents a new freestanding triptych of photomontages set within a movable pine larch structure. The installation continues Ntjam’s exploration of colonial legacies, mythology, and Afro-diasporic cosmologies through layered compositions that merge archival imagery, speculative fiction, and biomorphic forms. Produced alongside her participation in the 36th Bienal de São Paulo, the work imagines time as a nonlinear network — where ancestral histories and futuristic visions converge.
• Margot Samel (New York): Inmortalistas by Argentine-born, Mexico-based artist Carolina Fusilier explores the material afterlife of technology and its entanglement with organic life. Using industrial debris, biological remnants, and mechatronic activations, Fusilier constructs interconnected sculpture-paintings where images appear to capture the intangible silence of technology. The installation suggests a post-human mythology — machines dreaming of their rebirth, materials remembering their former lives — as cycles of collapse and rebirth.
• Theta (New York): In Cinemaworld reboot (Deluxe), Kelsey Isaacs scales her cinematic still-life paintings to immersive, life-sized environments. Working from photographs taken in a disused movie studio, Isaacs transforms spotlit arrangements of plastic miscellany into luminous, near-abstract compositions that echo the artifice of Hollywood’s golden age. Embedded LCD screens loop endoscopic videos of her painted subjects, creating an interplay between spectacle and surface, illusion and revelation.
• Lomex (New York): Presenting Japanese artist and animation designer Yoshitaka Amano, Lomex stages an installation bridging fantasy and fine art. Known for his work on G-Force, Battle of the Planets, and Final Fantasy, Amano’s large-scale paintings and works on paper expand his visual universe into gestural abstraction and dreamlike figuration, situating his oeuvre within the continuum of postwar visual culture.
• Zielinsky (Barcelona, São Paulo): Chinese-Afro-Panamanian artist Cisco Merel transforms the booth into a living architecture through a sculptural environment activated by Junta de Embarra, a communal stepping ritual drawn from traditional Panamanian quincha construction. Merging performance, sculpture, and architectural form, Merel reinterprets ancestral building techniques as acts of cultural resistance and collective creation.
• Galeria Dawid Radziszewski (Warsaw, Vienna): Polish artist Aleksandra Waliszewska presents new paintings merging medieval iconography with the uncanny intimacy of contemporary life. Her dreamlike compositions — peopled by spectral figures, animals, and allegorical hybrids — draw on Gothic and Symbolist traditions to articulate psychological and moral tensions that feel both timeless and unsettlingly current.

For galleries highlighting artistic practices of historical relevance

Survey foregrounds presentations that revisit art-historical practices of lasting resonance — from rediscoveries of overlooked figures to renewed readings of canonical artists whose work continues to shape the language of contemporary art. The sector brings together 18 galleries, 12 of them new participants, presenting projects that illuminate cross-generational influence and the evolving contexts through which artistic legacies are re-examined today.

Highlights include:

• David Peter Francis (New York): Pat Oleszko’s inflatable installation Big Foots (1995) anchors the gallery’s solo presentation, offering a rare glimpse into the American artist’s five-decade exploration of humor, protest, and performance. The towering, air-powered sculptures — part prop, part persona — capture Oleszko’s concept of “pedestrian art,” merging theater, costume, and feminist satire. The presentation precedes Oleszko’s 2026 survey at SculptureCenter in New York, reaffirming her status as a seminal voice in performance-based sculpture.
• Ryan Lee (New York): A booth of rarely seen paintings by Emma Amos revisits the late artist’s Athletes series (1980s), monumental portraits depicting celebrated athletes such as track and field stars Carl Lewis and Evelyn Ashford and football player Emmitt Smith. Characterized by bold color fields and dynamic figuration, the works combine Amos’ painterly virtuosity and handmade weaving with her lifelong commitment to racial and gender equity. Presented amid renewed institutional attention on the artist’s legacy, the presentation reasserts Amos' position as a vital figure in American modernism and the feminist avant-garde.
• Voloshyn Gallery (Kyiv, Miami): Ukrainian-American artist Janet Sobel — long overlooked despite her pioneering role in gestural abstraction — returns to focus through a presentation of wartime portraits from the 1940s. Created after emigrating to the United States, these haunting depictions of women and children draw from memories of Ukraine and the displacements of World War II. The presentation underscores Sobel’s influence on postwar abstraction and her rightful place within its history.
• Pavec (Paris): Marking the gallery’s Art Basel Miami Beach debut, Pauline Pavec presents early works (1911–1940) by Juliette Roche, a key yet underrecognized figure of the early twentieth-century avant-garde. A member of the Dada and Section d’Or circles, Roche’s paintings and works on paper trace her pioneering engagement with Cubism, abstraction, and feminist discourse.
• Paci contemporary (Brescia, Porto Cervo): Leslie Krims: A Rake’s Revisionist Regress brings together rare vintage photographs by American conceptualist Leslie Krims, a central figure in the rise of staged photography during the 1970s. Known for his satirical and often provocative compositions, Krims used constructed imagery to critique political correctness and media manipulation. The presentation situates Krims within the lineage of artists — alongside Cindy Sherman and Sandy Skoglund — who transformed photography into a vehicle for performance and social commentary.

This December, Art Basel launches Zero 10, a new curated space for art of the digital era, debuting at Art Basel Miami Beach 2025. Presented with the support of OpenSea, an Official Partner of Art Basel Miami Beach 2025, the initiative extends Art Basel’s global ecosystem by connecting the expanding digital art community with the established structures of the international art market.

Zero 10 represents a decisive, long-term commitment to support and empower a rapidly evolving area of artistic production and collecting. The platform will unite leading and next-generation participants — artists, studios, galleries, and digital innovators — with Art Basel’s global framework of curatorial excellence and market access. Featuring 12 international exhibitors, the inaugural edition of Zero 10 will be on view in Miami Beach before expanding to select global fairs in 2026, including Art Basel Hong Kong 2026.

The initiative's title references 0,10, Kazimir Malevich’s seminal 1915 exhibition in Petrograd — a historic point of departure for the avant-garde that redefined creative language for a new century. In the same spirit, Zero 10 sets a new benchmark for how digital art can be exhibited, contextualized, and collected within today’s art economy.

Curated by Eli Scheinman, a digital art strategist focused on new models of collecting and engagement, the inaugural presentation will feature AOTM, Art Blocks, Asprey Studio, Beeple Studios, bitforms gallery, Fellowship, Heft, Visualize Value, Nguyen Wahed, Onkaos, Pace Gallery, and SOLOS, alongside a presentation of Lu Yang's work, on loan from the UBS Art Collection, presented in collaboration with UBS, Art Basel’s Global Lead Partner.

Zero 10 builds on recent Art Basel initiatives that have advanced the intersection of art, technology, and market infrastructure, including the Digital Art Council, Digital Dialogues, and curated digital showcases across Art Basel’s fairs — from Bright Moments’ DREAM-0 by Huemin at Art Basel Miami Beach 2024 to the digital section of Encounters at Art Basel Hong Kong 2025. Complementary developments such as the AI-powered Art Basel App and expanded digital editions in the Art Basel Shop further reinforce Art Basel’s commitment to supporting artists and galleries across its physical and digital platforms.

The launch coincides with sustained momentum in the digital art market. According to The Art Basel and UBS Survey of Global Collecting 2025, 51 percent of 3,100 respondents having purchased a digital work in 2024–2025, making digital art the third-largest category by total spending. Zero 10 both anticipates and advances this shift, aligning with Art Basel’s long-term strategy to expand audiences and market opportunities while supporting the most forward-looking forms of artistic practice.

Eli Scheinman, Curator, Zero 10: "Zero 10 brings together key forces across the digital art ecosystem — artists, studios, and galleries whose practices are reshaping how art is made, seen, and collected. From generative and algorithmic systems to robotics, sculpture, painting, light, and sound, the presentations highlight the diversity and conceptual sophistication of a field that has become integral to contemporary art and is now claiming its place within the broader market. I’m incredibly excited to be building this within Art Basel and to be bringing its global platform into meaningful partnership with this fast-growing creative community. "

Further details and presentation highlights can be found in the full press release.

Art Basel’s flagship talks program, Conversations, brings together leading voices from across art, culture, and ideas for three days (December 4–6) of live dialogue at the Miami Beach Convention Center Auditorium, located in the Grand Ballroom on Level 2 North. The program is free and open to the public. 

The 2025 edition unfolds through a series of boundary-pushing discussions that reflect Miami’s spirit of cross-pollination between disciplines, generations, and perspectives. From art’s entanglement with sport and technology to questions of legacy, memory, and new forms of patronage, this year’s Conversations convenes artists, collectors, curators, and thinkers shaping the cultural landscape today. 

The program opens on Thursday, December 4, which will be dedicated to the intersection of art and sport — exploring the creative, cultural, and social intersections between two worlds of performance and discipline. Across four dynamic sessions, artists and athletes examine parallels between the studio and the stadium, from endurance and community support to legacy and representation.

• Malcolm Jenkins, two-time Super Bowl champion and collector, in conversation with Tavares Strachan on what artists and athletes can learn from each other.
• Elliot Perry, former NBA star and collector, with art advisor Gardy St. Fleur, on building legacy beyond the court.
• Suzanne Lacy, Los Angeles–based artist and educator, with Angel City Football Club and New Zealand Women's National Team captain Ali Riley, discussing gender and leadership in sport. Moderated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, the panel expands on Lacy’s film What Do Women (Footballers) Want, created for Obrist’s exhibition Football City. Art United (Manchester, 2024).
• A fourth session, developed with the media platform Offball, examines how sport is represented in art and the museum — from SFMOMA’s Get in the Game (now touring to Crystal Bridges Museum of American in Bentonville, Arkansas) to new curatorial frameworks that consider sport as image, object, and cultural arena.

On Friday, December 5, the program turns its lens to the future of art itself — the systems that sustain it, the stories that define it, and the communities that reimagine its stewardship:

• Building the Future of the Art World, with an introduction by Noah Horowitz, CEO, Art Basel. András Szántó, Larissa Buchholz, Pablo León de la Barra, and Mia Locks examine how institutions and markets can evolve with resilience and imagination, drawing from Szántó’s The Future of the Art World: 38 Dialogues.
• Writing History Now: Artists, Memory, and the Shaping of the Present. Hank Willis Thomas and Anne Helmreich, Director of the Archives of American Art, discuss how artists are reframing collective memory and visual storytelling to address inherited histories and imagine new ones. Moderated by Sandra Jackson-Dumont, former director and CEO of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.
• Visionary Giving: How Black Collectors Are Reshaping Philanthropy. Victoria Rogers, Co-founder, Black Trustee Alliance, and Dr. Joy Simmons consider how Black collectors are influencing institutional priorities and redefining cultural representation, and how philanthropy can become an act of legacy and care. Moderated by Thomas Moore, art collector, philanthropist, and Executive Director of American Friends of the Louvre.

Coinciding with the launch of Zero 10, the Conversations program will also host a daily Digital Dialogues session, exploring the evolving relationship between art and technology. These talks will gather leading artists, curators, and innovators to discuss new paradigms of art-making, exhibition, and collecting — from AI and on-chain practices to extended reality and the future of ownership. Full details of speakers and topics will be announced closer to the show.

Additional panels with partners and special guests will further enrich the program, with updates to be shared in due course.

Launched in February 2025, the Art Basel Awards, presented in partnership with BOSS, represent the first global distinction of their kind — honoring exceptional achievement across the contemporary art world. Selected annually by an international jury of leading experts, Art Basel Awards Medalists are recognized for their vision, skill, community engagement, and global impact. Beyond recognition, the initiative provides meaningful, flexible support through honorariums, collaborations, and high-profile commissions designed to propel creative practice onto new international platforms.

This December, Art Basel Miami Beach marks a new milestone with the unveiling of the inaugural class of Art Basel Awards Gold Awardees. The Gold Awards honor 11 exceptional practitioners and institutions spanning visual art and adjacent creative disciplines. Chosen through a peer-driven process — in which this year’s Medalists voted among themselves — the Gold Awards introduce a new, community-based model of recognition: one in which the future is elevated by those shaping it. 

A major new moment on the Art Basel calendar, the first Art Basel Awards Night will take place on December 4 at the Frank Gehry–designed New World Center in Miami Beach, supported by the City of Miami Beach and the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau. The celebration will unite leading voices from across the art world for an evening that embodies the Awards’ spirit of creativity, collaboration, and cultural exchange. Guests will experience a black-carpet arrival, live performance, and the formal presentation of the Gold Awards — honoring practitioners whose work continues to shape contemporary art across disciplines and generations.

Each Gold Awardee will receive a unique handcrafted glass object, created in collaboration between Jacques Herzog of Herzog & de Meuron and Glassworks Matteo Gonet, both based in Basel - a tribute to the fair’s origins and to the city’s enduring spirit of craftsmanship and innovation.

The evening will also include the debut of the BOSS Award for Outstanding Achievement, conceived by BOSS in collaboration with Art Basel, recognizing a visionary whose recent work has made a profound cultural impact within and beyond the art ecosystem.

In the artist categories — Emerging Artist, Established Artist, and Icon Artist — the Art Basel Awards provide nearly USD 300,000 annually in flexible support combining honorariums, commissions, and philanthropic gifts. Emerging Artist Gold Awardees receive USD 50,000 in unrestricted funding; Established Artists receive USD 50,000 plus a major public commission debuting at Art Basel in Basel 2026; and Icon Artists are honored with a USD 50,000 donation made by Art Basel in their name to a cultural or educational institution of their choice.

The Miami Beach ceremony follows the landmark debut of the Art Basel Awards in Basel, where 36 Medalists were celebrated during the fair’s 2025 Swiss edition — including Cecilia Vicuña, Nairy Baghramian, Grace Wales Bonner, and Formafantasma. Conceived as a year-long celebration of creative excellence and cultural impact, the Art Basel Awards spotlight visionary figures whose contributions continue to shape the art world’s evolving future across geographies, disciplines, and generations.

Art Basel is once again proud to work with world-class partners across art, design, fashion, finance, hospitality, and technology, whose activations and commissions embody the fair’s commitment to cross-industry collaboration and cultural dialogue. Visitors will encounter a dynamic program of installations, exhibitions, and experiences — both within and beyond the halls of the Miami Beach Convention Center — that together animate the show campus and its surroundings.
