Miami Beach is about to trade in its sunscreen for art, ambition, and audacity, as Art Basel 2025 takes over the city in a whirlwind of color, ideas, and unapologetic creativity. From Havana to São Paulo, New York to Kyiv, 283 galleries are landing in the Sunshine State, bringing a global parade of Modern masters, postwar icons, and daring emerging voices. This year, the fair is shining a spotlight on Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic artists—because if Miami is the crossroads of the Americas, Art Basel is the crossroads of ideas. Get ready for a week where the beach vibes meet bold statements, and the cocktail of culture is curated with intellectual rigor.

The latest Art Basel & UBS Survey of Global Collecting reveals a new balance of power in the art world — where women lead in spending, Gen Z embraces digital art, and collecting becomes as much about identity as investment.

From 12 October 2025 to 25 January 2026, Basel’s Fondation Beyeler goes full dot-mad with the first-ever Swiss solo exhibition of Yayoi Kusama. Spanning over 70 years of her prolific career, the show brings together 300+ works — from intimate 1950s watercolours to new, immersive Infinity Mirror Rooms created just for this occasion. Wander through hypnotic nets, mirrored environments, and dazzling sculptures as Kusama turns the museum (and its garden) into a universe of repetition, reflection, and sheer spectacle. Prepare to see yourself multiplied… infinitely.

In the past few years, the art world’s compass has been turning steadily eastward. From Seoul and Singapore to Doha and Abu Dhabi, the expansion of major art fairs signals more than just geographic curiosity—it represents a structural realignment of the global art economy. Asia is no longer a satellite orbiting Western capitals; it is fast becoming a gravitational centre in its own right.

This Paris autumn, the city isn’t just hosting Art Basel—it’s staging a full-blown art showdown. ARTCOLLECTORNEWS spotlights the top five exhibitions you cannot miss: Rouy’s restless bodies haunt Picasso’s studio, Richter blurs reality and abstraction, De Maria turns trucks into meditative monuments, Rauschenberg reshapes scrap into sculptural chaos, and Minimal redefines restraint.
