Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 opened amid cautious optimism following the $2.2 billion New York auctions, with Google co-founder Sergey Brin and WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum spotted in Miami. Dealers reported strong sales, including an $18.5 million Joan Mitchell painting at Gray purchased by dealer Lillian Heidenberg. The fair introduced a new digital art section, Zero 10, sponsored by OpenSea and curated by Eli Scheinman, aimed at attracting crypto-wealthy collectors and younger audiences.

Claudia Altman-Siegel, who shut her gallery, owed $22,000 after missing the free-cancellation deadline. Other dealers, including Miguel Abreu, Tilton Gallery, and Sperone Westwater, navigated the fair's strict payment terms for different reasons—some pulling out early to avoid penalties, others proceeding despite business challenges. The fair proceeded with 283 exhibitors and reported strong sales, including an $18.5 million Joan Mitchell painting, signaling a potential market upturn.
