3 – 8 December 2026
Art Basel Miami
Where art and society converge.
The most important week in the contemporary art calendar, and far more than what happens inside the convention centre.
OVERVIEW
Art Basel Miami Beach is simultaneously the most important art fair in the Western hemisphere and the most elaborate private party in Florida. Collectors, curators, artists, and the world's most interesting people converge in a single December week. FalconX is your guide to both worlds.

WHAT WE ARRANGE
The detail behind every moment.
VIP Preview Days
Tuesday and Wednesday VIP previews, before any public access. The works that will be acquired by Friday are still available on Tuesday morning.
Private Collectors' Homes
Miami has extraordinary private collections that open for Art Week by invitation only. FalconX provides access through our collector network.
Miami by Water
Day charter on Biscayne Bay. Indian Creek, Star Island, sunset return. The other half of Art Basel that nobody photographs.
Satellite Fair Access
NADA, Untitled, Scope. The satellite fairs that sometimes matter more than the main event, with the right contacts to navigate them.
Collector Dinners
Small private dinners at Casa Tua, Swan and private residences. The conversations here close more deals than the fair floor.
The Edition, Faena
Rooms at The Edition or Faena Hotel. The two Art Basel properties that put you where everything happens, at walking distance from all of it.
IN THEIR WORDS
The Fair
“Art Basel is the only place in the world where you can spend Tuesday morning with a Basquiat and Tuesday evening with the person who painted it.”
Collector, Miami 2025
The Fringe
“The best conversations of Art Week happen in backyards and on boats. Never in the fair.”
FalconX, Art Week Philosophy
The Access
“The private collections alone justified the trip. We saw works that won't surface for another decade.”
FalconX Client, December 2025
