Art Basel, the world’s premier art fair for Modern and contemporary art, is delighted to announce new details and further highlights of its 2024 edition in Miami Beach, taking place from December 6 to 8 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, with VIP Preview Days on December 4 and 5. Directed for the first time by Bridget Finn, Art Basel Miami Beach will host 286 world-class galleries from 38 countries and territories showcasing the best of their distinguished programs. Reflecting the show’s home at the continental crossroads of Miami Beach, as well as its enduring commitment to platforming artistic excellence from the region, over two-thirds of exhibitors at this year’s Art Basel Miami Beach operate spaces in the Americas. They hail from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay, joining exhibitors from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa to present an unparalleled overview of artistic production in the region.
Once again, exhibitors will present the highest-quality paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, films, new media, and editioned works by rising talents and Modern and contemporary masters across the show’s six sectors:

Galleries, the main sector, where over 200 Modern, postwar, and contemporary art dealers from the Americas and beyond will present the full breadth of their program
Kabinett, where select galleries in the main sector exhibit thematic presentations in a distinct section of their booth
Nova, where younger galleries showcase work by up to three artists, created within the last three years
Positions, dedicated to showcases of emerging galleries and artists
Survey, where galleries present historically relevant works created before the year 2000, with the aim of broadening our understanding of the conventional art historical canon
Meridians, the show’s curated sector for large-scale projects that transcend the traditional art fair booth, introduced in 2019

The show also offers a renowned, curated program of artworld talks and debates, Conversations, open free to the public each day of the show.
Under Finn’s leadership, the show will present a refreshed artistic program, introducing a new curator and exhibition concept in Meridians, as well as its largest cohort of new exhibitors in over a decade. The show stands to be thoroughly re-invigorated, with an exceptional 34 new galleries joining the fair across all sectors, and 31 exhibitors set to present in the main sector for the first time. Newcomers entering the main sector directly include: Gallery Baton (Seoul), Jan Kaps (Köln), Pearl Lam Galleries (Hong Kong, Shanghai), Leeahn Gallery (Daegu, Seoul), Martos Gallery (New York), Gallery Wendi Norris (San Francisco), and Tim Van Laere Gallery (Antwerp, Rome). The sector will feature thirteen ‘graduating’ galleries who exhibited in Nova, Positions, or Survey in 2023, with standouts including Isla Flotante (Buenos Aires), Central Fine (Miami Beach), Meredith Rosen Gallery (New York), Afriart Gallery (Kampala), Rele Gallery (Lagos, London, Los Angeles), Instituto de visión (Bogotá), Edel Assanti (London), and Daniel Faria Gallery (Toronto). Furthermore, Art Basel today reveals the participating galleries and standout projects in its jewel-box sector, Kabinett, which sees a renewed emphasis and diversity in the context of an edition focused on facilitating discovery,

‘We are categorically focused on the quality of exhibitors and works on view, making sure we deliver an experience that is truly unequalled the world over. Whether a first-time visitor or a seasoned fairgoer and collector, this edition has been designed with you in mind, to maximize at every turn the opportunity for surprise encounters and revelatory discoveries.’


Meridians
On the occasion of its fifth anniversary, Meridians will be curated for the first time this year by Yasmil Raymond, former director of Portikus and rector of the Hochschule für Bildende Künste- Städelschule, Frankfurt and previous curator at The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Dia Art Foundation, New York; and Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. The sector will re-locate to the south end of the showfloor, flanking Nova and Positions, the sectors dedicated to emerging galleries and artists, and anchoring the contemporary art section of the fair. With a renewed focus on institutionally-minded monumental sculpture, painting, and installation, Meridians will feature 17 projects – the majority created this year, alongside key historical pieces-by renowned American and international artists, including Alice Aycock, Rachel Feinstein, Roberto Huarcaya, Zhu Jinshi, Portia Munson, José Parlá, Lee ShinJa, and Franz West. Titled ‘State of Becoming’, this iteration explores themes ranging from the unexpected contingencies of democracy to the heightened anxiety of global climate change, explains Raymond:
‘The 2024 edition of Meridians will feature large-scale works of institutional quality and ambition by a bold group of artists. The title is an allegory for the formal language embodied in the artists’ work: Some explore the physical properties of regeneration and transformation in the methods of fabrication of the work itself, while others allude conceptually to entropy and the sublimation of organic materials. In other works, the handling of space evokes ideas of crossing over or passing in-between that propose change and transcendence.’

Highlights from Meridians include:
• Metal Storm (2024), a new bronze sculpture by American artist Rachel Feinstein (b. 1971), inspired by Hans Baldung Grien’s 16th-century drawing Witches, depicting three figures suspended above one another, soaring and spinning in mid-air, presented
by Gagosian (New York, Basel, London, Geneva, Hong Kong, Paris, Rome). Feinstein, who was raised in Miami, will also be the subject of a major mid-career survey at The Bass Museum, on view during Art Basel Miami Beach.
• A monumental photogram by Peruvian artist Roberto Huarcaya (b. 1959) from the series Amazogramas (2014-2024), taking as its subject the grandeur and precariousness of the Amazon rainforest, presented by Rolf Art (Buenos Aires). The work is the centerpiece of the Peruvian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale.
• From the artwork series exhibited in China’s pavilion at the Venice Biennale, Pathway (2024) by Zhu Jinshi (b. 1954), a sprawling walk-in sculpture made from 16,000 sheets of paper suspended over an armature of thin bamboo and cotton, presented by Pearl Lam Galleries (Hong Kong, Shanghai).
• Goya (2024) by American artist Alice Aycock (b. 1946), a towering 10-foot-tall aluminum ribbon-like spiral sculpture, presented by Galerie Thomas Schulte (Berlin).
• La Famille dans la Joyeuse Verdure (The Family in the Joyful Green) (2015-2019), a large- scale embroidery hand-stitched over a four-year period, by the Argentine artist collective Chiachio & Giannone (Leo Chiachio, b. 1969, and Daniel Giannone, b. 1964). Presented by Ruth Benzacar Galería de Arte (Buenos Aires), the work pays tribute to the LGBTQ community and Indigenous Guaraní culture.
• Inspired by urban spaces and city walls, Untitled (2024), a mural-sized diptych of cursives and calligraphic strokes by Miami-born, New York-based artist José Parlá (b. 1973), presented by Ben Brown Fine Arts (London, Hong Kong, Palm Beach). The project coincides with an exhibition of new works by Parlá at Pérez Art Museum Miami, also on view during the show week.
• A group of six woven tapestries by Korean fiber artist Lee ShinJa (b. 1930) from the 1980s, whose geometric compositions fuse cascades and spills of color that fall with grand verticality, presented by Tina Kim Gallery (New York).
• Bound Angel (2021), an enigmatic installation by American artist Portia Munson (b. 1961), featuring an immense oval dining table dressed in a tablecloth composed of used wedding dresses and a mannequin torso evoking a bound and facelesss bride, enveloped in discarded objects in the shape of female angels, presented by P.P.O-W (New York).
• Urs (2010), a freestanding painted sculpture made from epoxy resin by Austrian artist Franz West (1947-2012), part of the late artist’s Legitimate Sculptures series begun in the mid-1980s, presented by Van de Weghe (New York).

Kabinett
Conceived as a succession of jewel boxes dotted across the show floor, Kabinett will feature over 24 meticulously curated showcases within galleries’ main booths, with standout proposals including:
• A singular presentation of wood paintings by Miriam Inez da Silva (1937-1996) that seeks to reconfigure her legacy as a narrator of Brazilian modernization processes from the 1950s to the 1990s, presented by Gomide&Co. (São Paulo).
• The market debut of nearly a dozen paintings and works on paper from the 1940s by the master American Abstract-Expressionist painter Franz Kline (1910-1962) created prior to his affiliation with the New York School artists, offering rare insight into the early process and patronage of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, presented by Hirschl & Adler Modern (New York).
• A selection of lesser-known marble and bronze sculptures by Cuban-born, Puerto Rico- based artist Zilia Sánchez (b. 1926), a singular figure of Latin American Modernism and geometric abstraction, presented by Galerie Lelong & Co. (New York, Paris). The 98-year- old artist is the subject of a major career survey currently on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami and traveling to the Museum of Puerto Rico in 2025.
• A vibrant abstract landscape installation by Costa Rican artist Federico Herrero (b. 1978), comprised of new wall canvases and a site-specific floor painting created especially for the fair and inspired by the urban structures of the artist’s native San José, presented by Sies+ Höke (Düsseldorf).
Galleries will furthermore present works by nearly 4,000 artists across the show’s four remaining exhibition sectors, highlights for which were announced in July. Among the many exceptional proposals this year is Helly Nahmad Gallery’s (New York) showcase of 20th-century masters including Wassily Kandinsky (1886-1944), Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), Alexander Calder (1898-1976), Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985), Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Max Ernst (1891-1976), Fernand Léger (1881-1955), Lucio Fontana (1899-1968), and Joan Miró (1893-1983), and Meredith Rosen Gallery’s (New York) first-ever presentation in the main sector, featuring a new sculptural installation by Charlemagne Palestine (b. 1947), which the 79-year-old American artist will activate with a live musical performance during the fair. Coinciding with the centennial anniversary of the Surrealist Movement, main sector newcomer Gallery Wendi Norris (San Francisco) will present works by Cuban-born contemporary artist María Magdalena Campos– Pons (b. 1959) in dialogue with rare paintings by the canonical Spanish Surrealist Remedios Varo (1908-1963). Additionally, in Survey, two galleries will bring booths dedicated to rare works by French Surrealist women artists: a showcase of paintings by the little-known Jacqueline Lamba (1910-1993) at Weinstein Gallery (San Francisco), and a theatrical presentation featuring original photographs and books by Claude Cahun (1894-1954) at Galerie Alberta Pane (Paris, Venice).
Hailing from a wide variety of geographies – from Bogotá to Toronto, Madrid, Jakarta, and beyond – outstanding proposals from newcomers across sectors abound, including Gajah Gallery’s (Singapore) booth in Survey, featuring previously unseen paintings and wood and cotton sculptures by Indonesian artist I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih (b. 1966), on the subject of feminine pleasure, autonomy, and body horror; Galerie Allen’s (Paris) trio presentation in Nova, on the theme of ‘sanctuary amongst the grotesque,’ featuring paintings by Ex-Situationist Jacqueline de Jong (b. 1939), aquarium sculpture works by Trevor Yeung (b. 1988), and hand-blown glass sculptures of tongues by Tarek Lakhrissi (b. 1992) that evoke Queer gateways into safe-space backroom culture; as well as Gordon Robichaux’s (New York) showcase in Positions, with a series of shrine works by Agosto Machado derived from the artist and activist’s personal archives, marking an important introduction of the figure’s work to broader commercial audiences.

Conversations & Cultural Programming during the show

A compelling series of live debates with art’s most exciting thought leaders, Conversations will be curated for the first time in Miami Beach by American writer, editor, and educator Kimberly Bradley. ‘This edition of Conversations takes the pulse of the art world’s many current paradigm shifts – some of them subtle, others more dramatic,’ said Bradley. ‘New tendencies, and potentials, are emerging for artists, collectors, and institutions. ‘Conversations will take place from December 5 to 7 in the Auditorium of the Miami Beach Convention Center, freely accessible to the public.

Beyond the fair halls, Art Basel Miami Beach will once again power an exciting, region-wide art week of world-class exhibitions and events taking place across Greater Miami and the surrounding areas.
