Two American art advisors share their tips ahead of Art Basel Paris
What should everyone have in their bag when visiting an art fair?
Aileen Agopian: An iPhone, one extra charger, and definitely mints.
Sabrina Buell: I wear a small cross-body bag. It’s the Art Olympics and you don’t want to carry unnecessary weight all day. In it is my phone, which I use to take pictures of the works I acquire for my clients. I always have a fair map circled with galleries and works of interest noted.

The commitment coincides with Climate Week NYC, the largest annual event of its kind (to September 29). Data provided by GCC found that, for a typical, midsize commercial art gallery, one-third of annual carbon emissions related to activities around art fairs. Air travel (of art and people) accounts for the bulk, while these pop-up events, many held in temporary structures, have specific issues of their own, including single-use materials and energy consumption.

Art Basel has revealed the participating exhibitors and first details of its 2024 edition in Miami Beach, taking place from December 6th-8th, 2024 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Led for the first time by Bridget Finn, Art Basel’s stalwart fair in the Americas will host 283 galleries from 34 countries and territories presenting the best of their world-class programs, including 32 first-time
participants, marking the fair’s biggest cohort of newcomers since 2008.
Reflecting the fair’s singular position at the geographic and creative nexus of North and South America, Art Basel Miami Beach will showcase historical rediscoveries and bold, contemporary proposals from leading galleries in the Americas as well as premier international exhibitors whose programs attend to artistic production in the region. Nearly two-thirds of exhibitors at this year’s show hail from the Americas, representing the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, Peru, and Uruguay – a testament to Art Basel’s mission to platform artistic excellence in the region and to support discovery and generative collaboration between regional and international art scenes and markets.
