At the gala, the company will perform "Sunset," which Katz conceived after observing soldiers in Madrid’s Retiro Park.

Political statements at Art Basel Miami Beach are sparse but strident

At Art Basel Miami Beach, one year into Donald Trump’s second presidential administration, most galleries are avoiding overt political themes, though a few notable exceptions stand out. The most talked-about piece is Maurizio Cattelan’s marble sculpture *Bones (2025)*, a crashing eagle metaphor for the nation’s state, shown on Gagosian’s stand. Other politically charged works include Nicholas Galanin’s burned totem pole and drone-inspired rug, David Hammons’ *African American Flag (1990)*, and Tim Youd’s typewriter performance of Hunter S. Thompson’s book. Most exhibitors, however, focus on apolitical American iconography or market-driven choices.
