45 galleries from the United States, Spain and Latin America

Art took over Miami with fairs, exhibitions and installations of colossal dimensions
Art Week in the city of southern Florida, United States, attracts hundreds of gallery owners, collectors and the general public.
Miami once again became the world capital of contemporary art with the start of Art Week, the annual event that attracts hundreds of gallery owners, collectors and the general public who visit the dozens of fairs and exhibitions held throughout the city, with Art Basel as the main protagonist.

In every urban corner, visitors can find a fair, an exhibition or an installation, some of colossal dimensions such as the one that multidisciplinary artist Carlos Betancourt is exhibiting from today on a beach in Miami Beach and whose final destination will be the seabed.

Miami Reef Star is a sculpture 18 meters high, composed of 46 modules, each of which forms a star of different shapes and sizes. It will be displayed alongside another large-scale installation, The Great Elephant Migration, a set of life-size sculptures of Indian elephants.

This year, the 18th edition of this fair is hosting some 45 galleries from the United States, Spain and Latin America, and will add Forum, a series of talks and presentations on photography in Spanish-speaking countries, to its usual sections.

In the halls of Pinta Miami, visitors will find works that will provoke "a profound reflection on the Latin American context and its global projection," as the director and founder of Pinta, Diego Costa Peuser, told the EFE agency.

"The fair not only highlights contemporary art from Latin America and Spain, but also explores social, political and cultural issues that continue to be relevant worldwide," he added.

Another must-see attraction this week will undoubtedly be the Art Miami fair and its younger sister, Context, both set up in a large space in downtown Miami and which, together, will bring together more than two hundred galleries from around the world starting this Wednesday.

One of the longest-running modern and contemporary art fairs in southern Florida, Art Miami, will exhibit works in a wide variety of formats in its 34th edition and will feature more than 160 galleries from twenty countries. Context, for its part, focuses on emerging artists or those with a certain track record but still unknown to the general public.

Two other sister fairs, Spectrum and Red Dot, specializing in independent artists and new galleries, will occupy more than 150,000 square feet (45,000 square meters) of the Mana Wynwood convention center, in the iconic artistic neighborhood of Miami and which, without a doubt, will be one of the poles of attraction in the coming days.
Art Basel, the great protagonist
The spotlight will be on Art Basel this week, the American edition of the famous modern and contemporary art fair in Basel, which will take place between Friday and Sunday at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

The next edition of Art Basel Miami Beach, the first under the direction of its new director, the American Bridget Finn, will bring together 283 renowned galleries from 38 countries and territories, and will serve as a roadmap to discover the new artistic trends and perspectives on the continent.

This year, the emblematic fair will present a revamped Meridians, the section inaugurated five years ago and specialized in monumental works and which in its next edition, curated by Yasmil Raymond, will present 18 projects by renowned artists, including the Peruvian Roberto Huarcaya and the American of Cuban descent José Parlá.
