‘Art Basel Miami Beach is always an exceptional platform to support our mission of amplifying the voices of marginalized artists, and this year we saw a tremendous level of public interest in the artists we represent. We saw brisk sales and placed more than a dozen pieces, both to international institutions and significant private collections. It’s more important than ever to support works that subvert inequitable social structures, and to give space to masterful aesthetic voices advocating for a more open and equal future. We’re proud to be leading that effort.’Kavi Gupta, Founder, Kavi Gupta (Chicago)

We are glad to be back here and look forward to building a stable audience in Miami for our artists.’Daudi Karungi, Director, Afriart Gallery (Kampala)

‘This was the gallery's strongest Miami Beach outing to date. The caliber of collectors in attendance was stellar, and we made significant sales to an international crowd as well as a number of collectors with homes in South Florida. We saw strong demand for both historic works and fresh works from emerging artists. Kudos to Art Basel for delivering an elevated experience to exhibitors and visitors alike.’Timothy Taylor, Founder, Timothy Taylor (London, New York)
