Art Basel Miami Beach has named the 277 galleries participating in its 2023 iteration, slated to run December 8–10, with preview days on December 6–7. The number represents a slight dip compared to 2022, during which a record-breaking 283 exhibitors participated. This year’s iteration will focus on the Latin American and Caribbean diasporic scenes, and will feature galleries from Egypt, Iceland, the Philippines, and Poland. The fair is led by Vincenzo de Bellis, Art Basel’s director of fairs and exhibition platforms. Incoming director Bridget Finn, who will arrive to the organization this fall, will lead the 2024 fair.
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.
The remainder of the new participants are scattered across the fair’s Nova, Positions, and Survey sectors, devoted, respectively, to galleries showing new works by three or fewer artists, those hosting solo presentations, and those offering historic works. LA’s Château Shatto and the Manila– and New York–based Silverlens will show in the Nova section, while São Paulo’s Galatea, Warsaw’s Galeria Dawid Radziszewski, and Mexico City’s Llano will debut in the Positions sector. Among the new galleries showing in the Survey segment are Portland, Oregon’s Elizabeth Leach Gallery and the Los Angeles–based Stars.
“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.
