Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 concludes the year on a high note
Eva Mai
Art Basel Miami Beach has concluded its 2025 edition to a highly positive response from galleries, collectors, institutions, and audiences from across the Americas and worldwide. Led for the second year by Director Bridget Finn, the show brought together 283 galleries from 43 countries and territories, including 48 first-time exhibitors, and welcomed more than 80,000 attendees across VIP and public days.
Exhibitors reported dynamic sales across all sectors and market segments, with works by postwar and Modern masters, leading contemporary artists, and emerging voices placed into major public and private collections—reflecting the depth and diversity of presentations across the show floor.
Meridians, now in its sixth edition, returned as a focal point for large-scale works. Curated by Yasmil Raymond, The Shape of Time presented 19 works by multigenerational and international artists. The fair also introduced Zero 10, Art Basel’s new global initiative dedicated to art of the digital era, alongside a Conversations program that drew strong attendance throughout the week.
A key highlight of the edition was the Art Basel Awards, presented in partnership with BOSS, culminating in the inaugural Art Basel Awards Night during show week. The event brought together figures from across art and culture and underscored the Awards’ mission to recognise influential voices shaping the field today.
The 2026 edition will be held December 4–6, 2026.
