Before the doors open and the aisles fill, a drone rises inside the Miami Beach Convention Center, beginning a seamless flight through the heart of Art Basel Miami Beach. It slips between booths in the Galleries sector, capturing an unbroken panorama of the fair’s 23rd edition.

This year, Art Basel Miami Beach brings together 283 galleries from 43 countries and territories, including 48 first-time participants. From above, the vast choreography of the fair comes into focus: a gathering of artists, ideas, and perspectives from the Americas and beyond.
