The international art show in Miami Beach, Florida is the American sister event of Art Basel in Switzerland, the most important annual art show worldwide for the past 35 years. Art Basel Miami Beach is a new type of cultural event, combining a contemporary art show with an exciting program of special exhibitions, parties and crossover events including music, film, architecture and design. Exhibition sites are located in the city's beautiful Art Deco District, within walking distance of the beach and most hotels and restaurants.
An exclusive selection of 180 leading art galleries from North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia will exhibit 20th and 21st century art works by over 1000 artists. The exhibiting galleries are among the world's most respected art dealers. They will be showing exceptional works by both renowned established artists and cutting-edge newcomers. The show will be a vital source for discovering new developments in contemporary art and rare museum-calibre art works. Art collectors, artists, dealers, curators, critics and art enthusiasts from around the world will participate in the event, along with prominent members of the entertainment industry. All areas of art (painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, photography, editions, performance, digital and video art) will be on display and can be purchased. Prices start at a few hundred dollars for multiples and works by young artists, and soar into the millions for museum-quality masterpieces.
