From December 5 to 8, 2025, the famous contemporary art gathering, Art Basel Miami Beach, will be held at the city’s Convention Center. This fair, known worldwide and certainly the most influential in North America, allows art galleries to exhibit emblematic works, contemporary masters, or promising new voices.
The French will be well represented with Galerie Lelong, founded in 1945, known for works that are both poetic and political; Galerie Mennour, which presents structural and conceptual pieces; and Galerie Crèvecœur, which focuses on rising young artists. The Canadians are not left behind with Montreal’s renowned Bradley Ertaskiran gallery, presenting Canadian and international contemporary artists; and Toronto’s Daniel Faria gallery.
One can also discover the Italo-Canadian artist Marco Brambilla, exhibited at the Wolfsonian–FIU Museum (Florida International University) from November 26, 2025, until March 1, 2026. The opening of his exhibition After Utopia will take place on December 5 at 7 p.m.
Also to be discovered this year: the Zero 10 space dedicated to art in the digital age, with the ambition of capturing the energy of a still-new artistic field, based on technology and now also on artificial intelligence.
