Six notable projects at Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 are highlighted, including presentations by Chicago-based galleries Document, Gray, moniquemeloche, and Patron, which showcase artists who experiment with material form and lived experience. Other featured works include Aleksandra Waliszewska's cat-centered paintings at Dawid Radziszewski, Myungmi Lee's vibrant game-inspired works at Wooson, Etel Adnan's rare 1960s drawings at Galerie Lelong, and Mary Bauermeister's newly discovered 1950s works on paper at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery.
The selection underscores the diversity and depth of contemporary art at one of the world's leading art fairs, highlighting both established and emerging artists from different regions and generations. It matters because it demonstrates how Art Basel Miami Beach continues to serve as a platform for radical creative expression, bringing attention to underrepresented artistic communities like Chicago's and to historical figures whose work is being rediscovered, such as Bauermeister and Adnan.
