![Art Basel Miami Beach has gone back to its pre-pandemic size, and crowds have come back in full force.
As with any fair, particularly one run by Art Basel, blue-chip trophy pieces abounded as did small clusters of works associated with the Arte Povera and Op art movements.
This edition is of particular note, as the fair is celebrating its 20th anniversary in South Florida, and dealers seemed to toast the occasion by bringing out heavyweight works.

![ARTnews editor-in-chief Sarah Douglas discusses her experience of Art Basel Miami Beach on its 20th anniversary.
"When I say that the art world has, in general, over the past twenty years, been Miami-fied I don’t mean it as a proxy for decline," writes Douglas. "I mean many things, but chief among them might be an opening up of what was once closed."
