Today we bring the best of from  Art Basel Miami Beach 2018. The fair explores the best of contemporary art and collectible design in next year’s edition, let’s review the highlights of this year.

Claudia Wieser was one of the most relevant artists in the Sies + Höke’s showcase with her colorful and minimalist Untitled art pieces created in 2018. Her sculptures are perfect examples of how art and design can be merged together to create something beautiful and functional at the same time.

 

In the same booth, we also can’t ignore the realistic bronze sculpture of a cat by João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva.

The Haas Brothers were, undoubtfully, stars of this year’s edition, not only thanks to their solo exhibition Ferngully but also with their works showcased by Marianne Boesky Gallery.

The young Japanese artist and master artisan Takuro Kuwata is one of the prodigies in contemporary ceramics and his works were showcased by Salon 94 in Art Basel 2018.

This colorful glass sculpture by Jean-Luc Moulène was exhibited by Galerie Chantal Crousel in Art Basel 2018.

However, Jean-Luc’s was not the only glass sculpture to amaze us. Lévy Grovy also brought us this marvelous piece by Terry Adkins.

From the Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, the wonderful works by Claire Falkenstein stand out with their concept of destruction and decay.

Contrasting with Claire’s artworks we have Barbara Chase-Riboud evoking wealth and luxury with her exclusive design.

Another golden surprise was the work of art by Gonzalo Lebrija in Travesía Cuatro.

The playful sculpture by Daniel Arsham from Perrotin, tearing apart the well-known “The End” message that appears in several movies and TV shows gave us a reason to smile.

In Galleria Franco Noero, the sculpture by Mark Handforth made us think about the passing of time with its spiral-like shape.

Galerie Lelong also offered us the opportunity to admire two amazing sculptures, one by Jaume Plensa and other by Michelle Stuart. Something about the closed eyes of Rose and the stars in Sheep’s Milk and the Cosmos creates a surreal and dreamlike sensation.

One of the oldest concepts in Art’s History: Love. It could not be forgotten in this year’s edition. The steel sculpture by Jeff Koons presented by the Gagosian Art Gallery evokes this ancient artistic perception.

The fascinating humanoid sculpture by Yinka Shonibare presented by James Cohan Gallery in Art Basel 2018 surprised everyone with its inspiration in the classical Venus figure with a contemporary twist.

These among many other incredible works of art showcased at Art Basel Miami Beach 2018 planted seeds in our imagination. Next year, we hope they bloom in more creative and innovative ways to work in the art and design fields. We can’t wait for the upcoming art exhibitions by the best art galleries in the world.
