Inside Art Basel Miami with Sarah Douglas of ARTnews and Art in America

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Sarah Douglas, editor-in-chief of ARTnews and Art in America, to recap Art Basel Miami and assess where the art market stands at the end of 2025. They discuss the fair’s redesigned floor plan, the renewed momentum that began in London and Paris this fall, and how that energy shaped expectations heading into Miami. Sarah shares her take on how the fair performed from a sales perspective and which artworks and transactions generated the most attention. Adam and Sarah also consider the shifting global fair landscape, including the growing influence of Basel Paris on both Basel Switzerland and Basel Miami. They reflect on how collector travel patterns are evolving, why sentiment can feel different depending on where one is standing, and what Miami might reveal about the year ahead. The conversation concludes with a discussion of the Zero 10 section, including Beeple’s headline grabbing presentation and why this area of the fair sparked mixed reactions among dealers and visitors.
