Art Basel Miami Has Over Twenty Satellite Fairs On Offer This December

Art Basel Miami

Art Basel Miami Beach, the biggest contemporary-art fair in the U.S. will offer $3 billion of art, as auction revenue hit a record last month in New York. This years Art Basel Miami is the fair’s 13th edition, with 267 galleries from 31 countries representing 4,000 artists. Sellers expect collectors to continue their buying spree following the record $2.3 billion of Impressionist, modern and contemporary art that sold during November’s auction season.

“It’s going to be a very strong fair,” New York dealer Christophe Van de Weghe, told Bloomberg, whose booth has a Christopher Wool painting for $6.3 million and a Jean-Michel Basquiat work for $5.5 million. “There’s a lot of collectors coming from so many different parts of the world, and all have a big appetite to buy art.”

Art Basel Miami Beach includes names such as Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder and Sigmar Polke at individual prices as high as $18 million. The fair is the focal point of a week in which billionaires and celebrities rush to Miami to attend invite-only dinners and poolside parties where famous acts are expected to perform for their enjoyment.

Art Basel in Switzerland and the Miami version were the second- and third most-attended art fairs in the world, respectively, from Autumn of 2013 to June 30, behind a Madrid-based collectibles fair, this is according to Skate’s, a New York-based art market researcher. Attendance in Miami is expected to exceed last year’s 75,000, fair organisers have stated.

There are also more than 20 satellite fairs that will sell art by younger or emerging artists. Most of the fairs are not limited to U.S. exhibitors. Scope, for instance, features 126 galleries from 27 countries. The satellite fairs are all over the city, with some in tents on the beach and inside hotels on Collins Avenue.
