Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 concluded this past weekend with an attendance exceeding 80,000 people, the organizers reported. The fair brought together 83 galleries from 43 countries and territories, including 48 participating for the first time, in an edition marked by geographic diversity and market dynamism.
The audience—comprised of private collectors, representatives of cultural institutions, and visitors from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East—reaffirmed the fair’s role as the leading platform for exhibiting and selling modern and contemporary art in the Western Hemisphere, Art Basel highlighted in a statement.
While specific figures were not provided, the organizers noted that galleries registered sales across all market segments.
Among the most prominent placements were works by Ruth Asawa, Sam Gilliam, Alice Neel, Andy Warhol, and Martin Wong, along with rediscoveries of Emma Amos, Eva Olivetti, and Juliette Roche. Interest was also reported in emerging artists such as Kelsey Isaacs, Cisco Merel, and Adriel Visoto.
The fair welcomed representatives from more than 240 international museums and foundations from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, reinforcing the event’s institutional reach.
One of the central sections of this edition was Meridians, which presented 19 large-scale works by international artists, with monumental installations aimed at expanding the contemporary narrative of the Americas.
In parallel, Zero 10, Art Basel’s new global platform dedicated to art of the digital age, debuted. The initiative generated strong interest among established collectors, new buyers, institutions, and the general public.
According to the organization, generative works, hybrid physical-digital art, and NFTs saw sustained demand, solidifying the presence of digital art within the contemporary ecosystem and confirming its growing integration into the market.
The next edition of Art Basel Miami Beach will take place from December 4 to 6, 2026.
