All great artists have a voice of their own, and the same is true of the galleries that champion them. This year, Art Basel Miami Beach will feature more new galleries than at any point since 2008. Taking place from December 6–8, 2024, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the fair will welcome 34 first-time participants, an eclectic group hailing from across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Below are seven of those galleries and the exciting work they will showcase, bringing even greater diversity to the show.
Gallery Baton (Galleries sector, Seoul, South Korea)
In addition to being a prime supporter of South Korea’s emerging artists through its residency program, Gallery Baton has an international roster that acts as a kind of litmus test for contemporary art. The rich diversity of the gallery’s artists will be showcased at the fair, including Yuichi Hirako, who hybridizes painting, sculpture, and installation; French artist Claire Fontaine’s evocative portraits; and the poetic meditations of Doki Kim, whose materials include gravity itself. All of Gallery Baton’s works at the booth will explore the role of art in relation to the global environmental crisis.
