Art Basel returns to Miami Beach this December as a leading platform for modern and contemporary art in the Americas, bringing together 283 galleries from 43 countries – including 49 first-time participants – at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Anchored by the Galleries sector with 226 top dealers presenting everything from twentieth-century masters to bold contemporary statements, the fair also features 32 curated projects in Kabinett and proposal-based sectors Nova, Positions and Survey spotlighting emerging voices, historical rediscoveries and experimental statements. Reaffirming its position as the curatorial centerpiece of the fair, the sixth iteration of Meridians, curated by Yasmil Raymond, will return to showcase large-scale works under the theme The Shape of Time.
Together – from December 5 to 7, 2025, with Preview days beginning on December 3 – these platforms offer a cross-hemispheric panorama of artistic practice, innovation and dialogue shaping art today.
This year, Art Basel launches Zero 10, a new space for art of the digital era curated by Eli Scheinman. Premiering in Miami Beach before traveling to other fairs, Zero 10 gathers generative systems, robotics, sculpture, light, sound and code-based practices into one evolving conversation about how digital art is experienced and collected today. Within this platform, UBS presents Lu Yang’s DOKU–Heaven (2022) on loan from the UBS Art Collection: a hallucinatory, single-channel video in which the multimedia artist’s avatar moves through a blissful, celestial realm, its motion-captured choreography drawing on Balinese and Indonesian dance styles.
