It’s officially dipped below 80 degrees in South Florida, signaling the return of Art Basel Miami Beach to that vibrant coastal city for its 22nd iteration. Yet under the leadership of director Bridget Finn, a former gallerist and art market savant, this year marks a new chapter for the fair, as Finn sets out to strengthen Art Basel’s role as a connector for art across the Americas.

With 286 galleries from 38 countries and territories featuring a vast array of artists, not to mention official merch shops, restaurants, and brand activations, navigating the fair’s bustling halls can feel overwhelming. To help get you started—or, in the event that you can’t make it down to Miami Beach to see all the goings-on for yourself—here is a selection of the must-see presentations. From debut participants to thought-provoking installations by established names, we present the buzziest booths at Art Basel Miami Beach 2024.
