Art from 29 nations comes to Art Basel Miami Beach

This year will be the 15th for Art Basel Miami Beach and features 269 leading international galleries from 29 countries, with 50% of all exhibitors having spaces in the Americas. There are 21 new galleries this year, and more than 85 galleries exhibiting also took part in the first edition in Miami Beach in 2002, according to a spokesperson.

The show is divided into sections: Nova, which is dedicated to younger galleries showing new work by one to three artists, features works from 35 galleries; Positions, a sector for solo presentations with a specific project, comprises 16 exhibitors; Survey, which is for curated presentations of historical works, has 14 participants; Edition, focused on multiple works, has 11 participants; and Kabinett features 29 distinct curated projects set within select gallery booths.

“We have some very exciting galleries participating in the Miami Beach show for the first time, from Gaga Fine Arts in Mexico and Leo Xu Projects in China, to Galerie Greta Meert in Belgium and Galleria d’Arte Maggiore G.A.M in Italy, to Di Donna and Callicoon Fine Arts in New York, as well as Marc Selwyn Fine Art and Various Small Fires in Los Angeles,” said Noah Horowitz, Art Basel director for the Americas. “I personally always enjoy getting to know new artists presented in Nova and Positions. Rita Ponce de León and Ishmael Randall Weeks at Ignacio Liprandi and Max Hooper Schneider with High Art come to mind, in particular, in this regard.”

Public, the exhibition of large-scale and site-specific work within Collins Park, will again be curated by Nicholas Baume and will feature 20 artists, including Magdalena Abakanowicz, David Adamo, Jean-Marie Appriou, Eric Baudart, Huma Bhabha, Yoan Capote, Claudia Comte, Matías Duville, Camille Henrot, Glenn Kaino, Alicja Kwade, Sol LeWitt, Wagner Malta Tavares, Tony Matelli, William J.
