Art Basel Miami Beach 2016 Proves to be Successful, as Always

 
Art Basel is hands-down the hautest week in Miami Beach and the surrounding mainland Miami neighborhoods, and this year was no exception!

Throughout the 4 days of this year’s fair, Art Basel had over 77,000 people in attendance including many celebrities, influential private collectors, as well as curators, directors and patrons of leading international museums and institution groups from all around the globe. Although many of the exhibitors have been part of the Art Basel scene for many years, the fair welcomed 21 new galleries this year as well, further proving that the art scene in Miami/Miami Beach continues to grow exponentially each year and is definitely a force to be reckoned with!

Art Basel Miami Beach released a press release about this year’s successful event, at arguably the best art fair in the entire United States:

“Art Basel in Miami Beach’s 15th edition: a landmark year, featuring strong sales across all sectors of the show. This Sunday, December 4, Art Basel’s show in Miami Beach closed amidst high praise from participating galleries reporting healthy sales across all levels of the market. The show, whose Lead Partner is UBS, featured 269 world-class galleries from 29 countries who presented exceptional works, ranging from Modern masterpieces to contemporary paintings, films, sculptures and installations by established and emerging artists. In a challenging socio-political and economic landscape, this edition demonstrated that works of the highest quality presented by leading galleries continue to drive strong demand and solid attendance from serious international collectors. Several galleries chose to present powerful and emotive works that address these issues, which collectors responded to with great interest.”
