Viewing Art Basel Miami 2024

Next week is the art world’s last hurrah of the calendar year – Art Basel Miami. The coastal city plays host to an array of spin-offs and satellites at private venues and public institutions, and then of course there’s the main fair.

On our must-see list is the fair’s Meridians sector at the fair, the platform for large-scale projects, curated this year by Yasmil Raymond. This year’s line-up includes conceptual artist Sarah Meyohas’s Interference #18—a monumental, fourteen-feet wide multipanel hologram from the artist’s ongoing Interference series—presented by Marianne Boesky Gallery. Meyohas layers magnified imagery of plant matter with images of a nude female form.

We’ll also be heading to Nova, the place to see new works created in the last three years or less. This always proves to be a highlight of Art Basel, and this year we don’t want to miss Deborah Willis, presented by Welancora Gallery. Across town, the Bass Museum’s ‘Social Assembly: Welcome to the Museum’, is an innovative visitor experience and a celebration of the city, and at the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, you can see works by Roy Lichtenstein, Louise Nevelson and Isamu Noguchi, among others, in Historic Works from the Margulies Collection 1930’s-1970’s. Round out the weekend with a visit to the Perez Museum for a groundbreaking exhibition surveying six decades of Xicanx-identifying artists.
