Art Basel Miami Beach boosts newcomers by offering smaller stands

"Smaller booth scales made a lot of sense," Bridget Finn, the Miami fair's new director, tells The Art Newspaper. "It has been a challenging year for galleries."

"The idea came out of conversations with galleries asking for the opportunity to grow at a smaller footprint," says Finn, who also draws from her own exhibitor experience in the Positions section with her former gallery in Detroit, Reyes Finn.

This new offering by the fair has led to the record number of 34 first-time exhibitors across all of its sections in the fair's 22-year history.

Of the 229 exhibitors in Galleries, 13 have graduated from the fair's smaller sections: Survey, Positions and Nova.
