This year, Art Basel Miami Beach is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Over 280 galleries are participating in the fair. Ursula Casamonti of Tornabuoni Art gave me a tour of her booth, which is dedicated to the Italian art of the 20th century. One of the distinctions of the Miami edition is a big presence of Latin American galleries. Meet Dan Galeria and Nara Roesler, both from Brazil, which are showcasing artists from different countries of the continent.

Paris+ par Art Basel 2022

In October, Art Basel launched its inaugural fair in Paris. It's called Paris+ par Art Basel. The fair was held in the temporary venue, Grand Palais Éphémère, in place of FIAC, the French contemporary art fair, that used to take place in this time slot. Over 1/3 of the participating 156 galleries are based in France per the agreement between Grand Palais Management Company and Murdoch's MCH Group, the owner of Art Basel. I had a chance to meet two European galleries - Zeno X from Antwerp and Applicat-Prazan from Paris. Nina Hendrickx of Zeno X Gallery introduced a group of Belgian contemporary artists presented at their stand. Franck Prazan of Applicat-Prazan talked about their solo exhibition of Georges Mathieu. And finally, I visited the outdoor sector of the fair, called The Sites, which showcased large-scale works on Place Vendôme and Jardin des Tuileries. Paris, France October 20-22, 2022
