Art Basel Miami Beach

Art Basel Miami Beach, established in 2002, is regarded as one of the world's leading art fairs for modern and contemporary art. It derives its name from the original Art Basel fair in Switzerland, which has played a significant role in the art world since 1970. The fair is held annually in December at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, USA, and is organized by the MCH Group AG. As a cultural and social highlight in North and South America, Art Basel Miami Beach brings together more than 220 leading galleries from around the world..

At the heart of the fair is the presentation and celebration of modern and contemporary artworks. A wide array of works are showcased, including paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, films, videos, and digital art.

The fair is divided into various sectors. These include Galleries, the Meridians sector for large-scale projects, Nova for recent works, Positions for emerging artists, Survey for historically significant art practices, and Kabinett for curated selections.
