Preparing For Art Basel 2023

The time is almost upon us. Now that spooky season has wrapped, the biggest unofficial Miami Holiday is drawing near. Art Basel 2023 will kick off December 8-10, with preview days on December 6-7.

The Exhibitors

In order to prepare for the festivities, a list of 277 galleries has been released. These are exhibitors who are invited to participate in the main gallery area of the Miami Beach Convention Center. There are additional exhibitions of Art Miami, Spectrum Miami, Red Dot Miami and others that are offshoots of the main fair.

Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami are expected to take up residency in Mana Wynwood again this year, and this typically coincides with a birthday bash for developer and Miami activist, Moishe Mana. There are no changes expected to this yearly soiree.

In the main exhibition hall at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the artists will focus on Latin American and Caribbean diasporic scenes with galleries from Egypt, Iceland, Philippines and Poland. Megagalleries David Zwirner, Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, and Pace are all returning to the main section, where three of the twenty-four galleries participating in the exhibition for the first time will debut. These are the Paris-based Galerie Minsky, New York’s Ortuzar Projects, and San Francisco’s Weinstein Gallery.

“Our offering this year demonstrates yet again the strength of our show as an engine of the world of art in the Americas and globally, and as an utterly transformative cross-cultural experience—made possible by our premier exhibitors, our world-renowned cultural partners and collaborators in Miami Beach and South Florida, and our exceptional team,” Art Basel CEO Noah Horowitz said in a statement.

A New Director

In other large news for the premiere art week in Miami, Art Basel has tapped a new director with Bridget Finn.

She hails from Detroit, where she is a partner in her gallery ‘Reyes’. Before starting her gallery, Ms Finn led the contemporary art program at Mitchell-Innes & Nash in New York and working with Anton Kern Gallery in various roles.

Prior to this, she was the director of strategic planning and projects at Independent Curators International, helped to found collaborative curatorial project space called Cleopatra’s in New York and expanded it to Berlin. She is immensely qualified to bring Art Basel to a new era.

“We are thrilled with Bridget’s appointment and could not have found a better fit to lead our Miami Beach fair,” said Art Basel CEO Noah Horowitz in a statement. “She is deeply committed to Art Basel’s mission and strategic direction, and to our contributions in shaping and promoting the health and vibrancy of the artworld ecosystem and local art scenes in Miami Beach and beyond. She has vision, ambition, and the requisite skillset in spades to drive forward our team and our many new and longtime partners in Miami Beach. I am immensely proud to welcome her to the Art Basel family.”

We are so grateful to have Bridget on board. She will be present this year as she becomes comfortable with the ontaking, and next year will hold the reins. It is very exciting indeed.

As the launch date draws nearer, we will share additional details for VIP events and showrooms, surely including the Douglas Elliman gallery with a collection of bespoke condos and homes that are a perfect spot to display the works of art you find at Art Basel.
