21 Years Of Great Art

Miami Art Week Returns

by

Miami’s Art Basel is celebrating 21 years this month with 277 galleries participating in the international event that takes place Dec. 8-10, with preview days by invitation only Dec. 6-7 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. That’s actually a few less than the record-breaking 283 exhibitors who participated last year.

This year’s event will focus on the Latin American and Caribbean diasporic scenes, and will feature galleries from Egypt, Iceland, the Philippines and Poland. Mega galleries David Zwirner, Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth and Pace are all returning to the main section, where three of the 24 galleries participating in the exhibition will make their debut. They are the Paris-based Galerie Minsky, New York’s Ortuzar Projects and San Francisco’s Weinstein Gallery.

“Our offering this year demonstrates yet again the strength of our show as an engine of the world of art in the Americas and globally, and as an utterly transformative cross-cultural experience—made possible by our premier exhibitors, our world-renowned cultural partners and collaborators in Miami Beach and South Florida, and our exceptional team,” Art Basel CEO Noah Horowitz said in a statement.

Art Basel is part of Miami Art Week, which features a number of other artistic events including Scope Miami Beach, an international contemporary art show; Spectrum Miami, which takes place in the Wynwood Arts District along with the Red Dot Miami, as well as Untitled Art, an independent art fair with emerging artists taking place on the sands of Miami Beach.
