Art Basel Miami has announced the gallery line-up for its 2016 show at the Miami Beach Convention Centre. It includes 269 leading international galleries, drawn from 29 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Exhibitors will present works of art – from historically significant projects and film to painting, photography and large-scale sculpture – by Modern and contemporary artists. With a reapplication rate of 98% for the Galleries sector and in addition to a strong selection of returning exhibitors, the show features 21 galleries who are completely new to the Miami Beach edition, including 12 first-time entrants to the Galleries sector. The fair, whose Lead Partner is UBS, takes place at the Miami Beach Convention Center from December 1 – 4, 2016.
Attracting leading collectors, curators, museum directors and critics from across the globe, Art Basel in Miami Beach is the premier art show in the Americas, with half of the galleries having exhibition spaces in the region. The geographically diverse list of participants spans 29 countries around the world, including Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
2016 marks the fifteenth edition of the Miami Beach show, which has expanded over the years to include dedicated sections for film, outdoor sculpture, works in an edition and curated shows of historical significance. The show has always offered both exploration – with new works created by emerging artists – and a continuity of a high-quality international roster. Over 85 galleries exhibiting this year also took part in the very first edition in Miami Beach in 2002.
Joining an extensive roster of returning galleries will be first-time participants from North and South America, including from Los Angeles: The Box, Marc Selwyn Fine Art and Various Small Fires; from New York: Callicoon Fine Arts, Clearing, Di Donna, Thomas Erben Gallery, JTT and Off Vendome; from Mexico City: House of Gaga and joségarcía ,mx; and from Curitiba in Brazil: Simões de Assis Galeria de Arte.
New participants from Europe include Christian Andersen, Galleria d’Arte Maggiore G.A.M., Galerie Greta Meert, Galerie Maria Bernheim, High Art and Vigo Gallery. Reflecting Art Basel’s global reach, first-time exhibitors from Asia will include Edouard Malingue Gallery, Leo Xu Projects, and Nanzuka. For the full gallery list, please visit artbasel.com/miami-beach/exhibitors.
Comprising 193 of the world’s leading galleries, the Galleries sector presents the highest quality of painting, sculpture, drawing, installation, photography and video works. Highly competitive, the sector is always a highlight, leading 98% of last year’s exhibitors to reapply. In addition to many long time exhibitors, Galerie Nagel Draxler returns for this edition following a five-year hiatus. After previously participating in the show’s proposal based sectors, eight exhibitors will join the Galleries sector for the first time, including Altman Siegel, Bergamin & Gomide, Cherry and Martin, GALLERYSKE, Galerija Gregor Podnar, Labor, Menconi + Schoelkopf and Pilar Corrias.

The Miami Beach Convention Center, Art Basel’s home since the Miami Beach edition launched in 2001, is currently undergoing renovation, to be completed in 2018. Carefully planned by city officials around the Art Basel shows, the construction will result in improved exhibition halls and state of the art facilities for exhibitors and visitors. During the renovation, Art Basel will continue to take place throughout the same four exhibition halls as in past years. For more information on the project, please visit mbccfuture.com.
Art Basel has always had a close relationship with regional arts organizations. As such, South Florida’s leading museums time their strongest exhibitions of the year to coincide with Art Basel. In December, the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) will present ‘Julio Le Parc: Form into Action’, an exploration of kinetic work by one of the leading Argentinian artist; ‘Susan Hiller: Lost and Found’, an immersive video installation; ‘Sarah Oppenheimer: S-281913’, a series of architectural interventions; a solo show of paintings by David Reed; and work by Ulla von Brandenberg in the museum’s project gallery. The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) will present ‘Thomas Bayrle’, while NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale will show ‘Belief + Doubt: Selections from the Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz Collection’, ‘Francesco Clemente: Dormiveglia’, ‘Regeneration Series: Anselm Kiefer from the Hall Collection’ and ‘Samson Kambalu: Nyau Cinema’. Other highlights include ‘Modern Dutch Design’, ‘The Pursuit of Abstraction’, The Politics of -Isms’ and ‘Visionary Metropolis: Tony Garnier’s Une Cité Industrielle’ at the Wolfsonian-FIU; a project by Mark Dion at the Kampong National Tropical Botanical Garden in partnership with Florida International University; ‘Question Bridge: Black Males’ and ‘Rudin Prize for Emerging Photographers’ at the Norton Museum of Art; ‘When We Were Young’ and ‘José Parlá: Roots’ at YoungArts; and ‘The Other Dimension: Contemporary art practice as the existence of higher dimensions’ by Antuan Rodriguez at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). Recently rebranded as The Bass, Miami Beach’s contemporary art museum will present off-site activations throughout the week as the museum looks ahead to its re-opening in Spring 2017.
Visitors from across the world will also have the opportunity to view the city’s internationally renowned private collections. This includes ‘Toda Percepción es una Interpretación: You are Part of It’ with works from Ella Fontanals-Cisneros and CIFO Collection at the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO), ‘Progressive Praxis’ at the de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space, ‘Jannis Kounellis: Paintings; Anselm Kiefer: Installations; Featuring: Radcliffe Bailey, Florian Baudrexel, Mark di Suvero, Mark Dion, David Ellis, Mark Manders, Olaf Metzel, Meuser, Will Ryman and Jason Schmidt’ at the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse and ‘High Anxiety: New Acquisitions’ at the Rubell Family Collection.
