Art Basel Miami Beach

December 4th - December 8th

With 283 premier galleries and 320 booths, Art Basel Miami Beach is the largest show in Miami Beach to date. Originating in Bazel, Switzerland and extended to Miami Beach, Hong Kong and Paris, Art Basel is a group of international, annual art fairs focused on contemporary art. The fair presents an exceptional overview of artists, galleries and new perspectives from around the world. Every booth, another vigorous dive into what is happening in the art world. Truly a fabulous way to immerse oneself in art.

We love walking prospective clients through the fair as always and, in our exploration of the show, spending time with galleries we know and love as well as discovering many new ones. It’s important when navigating a fair as big as this one, to slow down as something catches your eye, take time to connect with the work and forge a more meaningful experience. We often engage with gallerists for in depth descriptions of the process and materiality of the works in their program. We always enjoy exploring fairs with our clients in mind, emerging with a range of intriguing new work we know they would be drawn to.

Untitled Miami Beach

Untitled will present a curated selection of international contemporary art works and is a leading independent contemporary art fair with an inclusive platform that prioritizes collaboration. Returning to the sands of South Beach for its 13th edition, the fair features over 160 participating galleries, artist-run spaces, and non-profits from 38 countries.

Beyond seeing unforgettable work, the connections with galleries we forge at the fairs are deeply important to us. Some have been long standing partners in our artistic journey, while others represent new relationships in the making, anticipating procurements that will take us through the new year.

ART FOCUS - Homage to a Lost Icon

This month we celebrate the life and work of Mel Bochner, the trailblazing Conceptual Artist whose pictorial and theoretical legacy will challenge and inspire artists now and for generations to come. Tribute to Mel Bochner 1940 - 2025 Image of Bochner in his studio, photo courtesy Kyle Knodell Mel Bochner is recognized as one of the leading figures in the development of Conceptual art in New York in the 1960s and 1970s. Emerging at a time when painting was increasingly discussed as outmoded, Bochner became part of a new generation of artists - including Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, and Robert Smithson - who broke away from Abstract Expressionism and traditional compositional devices, radically reimagining visual art. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Through a series of provocations into art-making, Bochner transformed our current definition of art itself. Most famously, he pushed the boundaries of material convention with his question, ...
