art basel miami beach 2025 changed fair map 1234764625

Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 has introduced significant changes to its floor plan, including a shift in shared booth arrangements. In the Nova section for young galleries, only two galleries—Isabel Aninat and Espacio Valverde—are sharing a booth, while the main sector now features multiple pairings, such as Andrew Kreps with Anton Kern, March with Parker, and Galatea with Isla Flotante. The Positions sector for solo presentations has moved to a regular gallery booth area, replaced by the new Zero 10 initiative for digital art. The map reflects a reduced footprint for the main sector, possibly responding to a volatile market for contemporary art.

Artist Foundations’ Net Worth Has Nearly Tripled to $9 B., Led by Cy Twombly Foundation’s $1.5 B. in Art and Assets

New research from the Aspen Institute’s Artist-Endowed Foundation Initiative (AEFI) reveals that artist-endowed foundations in the U.S. now control roughly $9 billion in assets, nearly triple the $3.5 billion reported in 2011 and up 17% from $7.7 billion in 2018. The Cy Twombly Foundation leads with $1.5 billion in art and assets, followed by foundations for Alexander Calder, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, and Robert Rauschenberg, each holding over $500 million. The data, drawn from public tax forms, shows that just five of roughly 500 foundations account for more than half the total, with most established by postwar American artists born before 1931.

The article recounts the author's personal experience as a collector who passed up the opportunity to buy a complete set of Marcel Duchamp's readymades at a 2002 Phillips de Pury and Luxembourg auction. The set, editioned by dealer Arturo Schwartz in 1964, included iconic works like *Fountain* and *Bicycle Wheel*, but the sale was a financial failure, with many pieces bought-in or selling for far below expectations. The author later acquired some of the unsold works privately. The piece is framed around the concurrent Duchamp exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and Gagosian.
