Art Basel

Dec 2–4, 2021
1901 Convention Center Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33139, United States

Two hundred of the most important galleries of modern and contemporary art reunite on the hot shores of Miami Beach for “one of the most dynamic, diverse art events in the country,” as The New York Times describes it. Jack Shainman, Hauser & Wirth, Gagosian, and many more are setting up shop, presenting works by the likes of Keith Haring, Louise Bourgeois and Frank Bowling. Back to in-person attendance after last year’s interruption, Art Basel Miami Beach offers an endless array of paintings, sculptures, installations, and digital art by hundreds of leading artists. And then there’s the endless art talk that goes well into the night. —E.C.
