Last years, one of the most important and most promising Art Fair is Art Basel Miami. The Art Fair open 4/12/14, with more than 200 of the world’s leading Modern and contemporary art galleries, allow visitors to explore the many dimensions of Modern and Contemporary art including museum-caliber paintings, sculptures and classical photography, as well as works of an outsized scale, precisely curated projects, and site-specific artworks which take advantage of the unique Miami Beach landscape.
Art Basel is comprised of multiple sectors, Art Basel Miami is divided in the following sectors: Galleries: The largest sector with more than 200 of the world’s leading Modern and contemporary art galleries all over the world. They display paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, prints, photography, film, video, and digital art by over 4,000 artists. Note that a Gallery from Greece that has a solid presence in this event, is the Bernier/Eliades Gallery. Nova: Designed for galleries to present one, two or three artists showing new works that have been created within the last three years, the Nova sector often features never-before-seen pieces fresh from the artist’s studio and strong juxtapositions. Positions: This sector allows curators, critics, and collectors to discover ambitious new talents from all over the globe by providing a platform for a single artist to present one major project. Edition: Leading publishers of editioned works, prints, and multiples exhibit the results of their collaboration with renowned artists. Kabinett: Participants are chosen from the Galleries sector to present curated exhibitions in a separately delineated space within their booths. The curatorial concepts for Kabinett are diverse, including thematic group exhibitions, art-historical showcases, and solo shows. Public: In collaboration with Bass Museum of Art, this sector offers its visitors a chance to see outdoor sculptures, interventions, and performances, sited within an open and public exhibition space at Collins Park near the beach. Film: The Film sector presents a dynamic program of films by and about artists. Screenings take place inside the Convention Center, and in the outdoor setting of SoundScape Park where works are shown on the 7,000-square-foot outdoor projection wall. This Brunner selects a feature length film for a special screening at the Colony Theatre. Survey: Survey presents precise art historical projects that may include solo presentations by an individual artist, or juxtapositions and thematic exhibits from artists representing a range of cultures, generations, and artistic approaches. Magazines: Art publications from around the world display their magazines in single-magazine stands or the collective booth. Great for finding current and past issues of magazines.
