Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 arrives from December 5–7 with the unmistakable pulse of the Americas at its center — and Brazilian galleries remain among the leading voices shaping that rhythm. With one of the strongest Brazilian delegations in recent years, the fair highlights the country’s growing influence on modern and contemporary art across the hemisphere. From Rio’s vibrant creative hubs to São Paulo’s landmark institutions, Brazil’s galleries distinguish themselves not only by the strength of their artists but by their ability to articulate cross-generational and trans-hemispheric narratives that mirror the fair’s curatorial direction.
Far from operating at the periphery, Brazil holds a notably strong presence in this year’s edition — reinforcing the fair’s broader view of the Americas as a living laboratory of artistic reinvention.
