ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH 2025

RESHAPING GLOBAL ARTISTIC IMAGINATION AT LARGE

ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH 2025 – the second edition led by Director Bridget Finn – was a highly successful edition event, receiving acclaim from galleries, collectors, institutions, and visitors not only from the Americas but from all around all the world.

Director’s Statement

Bridget Finn, Director of Art Basel Miami Beach, said:
« Looking back on the 2025 edition, I am thrilled by the energy, ambition, and creativity that reverberated within and beyond our halls. With standout presentations, innovative projects, and record engagement, the fair reinforced its leadership in the Americas and its power to influence the global art market. Through the fair’s core sectors, as well as initiatives like Zero 10 and the Art Basel Awards, and our revitalized Conversations program, we celebrated diverse artistic voices — _from Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic practices to emerging digital forms — _creating moments of joy, discovery, and meaningful cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary exchange that will resonate well into the year ahead. »

For its inaugural edition, it will feature 12 international exhibitors.

Exhibitor Testimonials

Testimonials from participating exhibitors of this year’s edition just confirm the unxpected results.

David Maupin, Co-Founder, Lehmann Maupin (New York, Seoul, London)
« There is no fair in the U.S. that rivals Art Basel Miami Beach. Every year it’s one of our most productive and rewarding events on the art world calendar. We’ve placed over 15 works so far, which is a good indication of a healthier market heading into 2026. »
Alexandra Lovera, Sales Director, Proyectos Monclova (Mexico City)
« Art Basel Miami Beach has always been a landmark fair for us, but this year has surpassed every expectation. We sold our two most important works within the first hour, and by Day Two nearly 50 works had found new homes. The energy, the caliber of collectors, and the support from the fair, especially from Bridget, made this edition truly outstanding. »
Peggy Leboeuf, Partner, Perrotin (New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul, Dubai, London, Los Angeles, Las Vegas)
« On Day One, we sold over 25 works. MSCHF’s sculptures were a big hit, and it was fun to see everyone’s reaction to being able to touch the art, or comment on the rivalry between Coca Cola and Pepsi. The fair gives us an opportunity to share new collaborations at our gallery and institutions around the world. It was great to see the positive reaction from our audience. »
Daphne King, Global Director, Alisan Fine Arts (Hong Kong, New York)
« As a first-time exhibitor at Art Basel Miami Beach, we were pleasantly surprised by the positive reaction we received, in particular to the works of Walasse Ting, Ming Fay, and Justin Lim. This reinforces our commitment to showcasing Chinese diasporic artists across generations to a global audience. Sales definitely exceeded our expectations. »
Pearl Lam, Founder, Pearl Lam Galleries (Hong Kong, Shanghai)
« It’s been truly encouraging to see such genuine interest in established Chinese artists. The first day showed positive engagement, and throughout the rest of the week, that interest remained consistent, with meaningful conversations and thoughtful interactions around the works. We enjoyed being part of Art Basel Miami Beach for our second year. »

Zero 10 — Voices from the Field

Hugh Heslep, President, Art Blocks
« The inaugural edition of Zero 10 felt like a true coming-out moment for digital and generative art. Many of us have been building this space together for years, and to see our community take center stage at Art Basel Miami Beach was both energizing and deeply meaningful. We were proud to be part of a moment that felt less like an introduction and more like an arrival. »
Alastair Walker, Chief Creative Officer, Asprey Studio
« Zero 10 is all about emerging artists, collectors, and galleries in the digital age. It represents the most contemporary form of art. »
