Overview
- The fair opened at the Miami Beach Convention Center with Nova and Positions relocated to the east entrance and the launch of Zero 10, a new platform dedicated to digital art.
- Zero 10’s inaugural presentations feature partners such as Pace Gallery, Art Blocks and Beeple Studios, with high‑profile digital artists drawing early attention.
- Secondary‑market trophies take center stage, including Lévy Gorvy’s Andy Warhol Muhammad Ali priced around $18 million, Jeff Koons’s Balloon Venus at David Zwirner, and additional blue‑chip offerings from major dealers.
- More booth‑sharing and a map that appears to shrink the main sector point to a softer market for fresh studio work, even as director Bridget Finn says galleries aim to “end the year on a high note.”
- Local presence grows with Miami galleries including Nina Johnson making an ABMB debut, while citywide programming expands with public projects such as Es Devlin’s 50‑foot Library of Us on Faena Beach, whose 2,500 books will be donated to schools and libraries.
