Art Basel Miami Beach is the sister fair to the original Art Basel, founded in Basel Switzerland in 1970. In Miami Beach, it capitalizes on its unique geography as the nexus of North America and Latin America. In 2013, a third iteration of Art Basel spawned in Hong Kong, a city known for being the gateway between East and West cultures.

At Art Basel Miami Beach, 500,000 square-feet of exhibition space is divided into seven sectors, Galleries, Nova, Positions, Edition, Kabinett, Public, Film, and Magazines. These sectors allow visitors to navigate the fair and experience the many dimensions of modern and contemporary art. For instance, much of the fair consists of the Galleries sector where individual galleries present a range of work from their artists inside their booths. Positions consists of booths with work by a single artist and Nova features new works. Editions premiered in 2013 featuring leading publishers of editions works and prints.

This year I’m proud to be a participant in Art Basel Miami Beach. Above is an example an acrylic piece I’m working on during the week!
