Untitled Art, Miami Beach is pleased to announce its exhibitors for the 15th edition, bringing together 166 galleries and non-profit organizations from 36 countries and territories. The fair will return to its oceanfront location from December 2–6, 2026, with a VIP and Press Preview on Tuesday, December 1. The 2026 edition unfolds across five distinct but interconnected sectors: Main, Artist Spotlight, Nest, Non-Profit, and Special Projects. The Main sector anchors the fair with an international selection of gallery presentations, while Guest Curators Agustina Ferreyra (Artist Spotlight), Willem Molesworth (Nest), and Damîen Dakota (Special Projects) bring distinct curatorial perspectives to their respective sectors.

The fair welcomes 52 first-time exhibitors, while returning galleries underscore our commitment to building meaningful, longstanding relationships and supporting their growth. This year’s new exhibitors, including several galleries back after a hiatus, are Catharine Clark Gallery (San Francisco, CA), Inman Gallery (Houston, TX), Mitre (São Paulo, BR), DADA Gallery (Lagos, NG), LOBSTER CLUB (Los Angeles, CA), Double V Gallery (Marseille, FR), Richard Saltoun Gallery (London, UK / Rome, IT / New York, NY), guadalajara90210(Mexico City / Guadalajara, MX), and QUEUE Gallery (Miami, FL). Returning exhibitors speak to the fair’s established position within Miami Art Week and include Carl Freedman Gallery (Margate, UK), LUCE GALLERY (Torino, IT), WHATIFTHEWORLD (Cape Town, SA), CARVALHO (Brooklyn, NY), Henrique Faria (New York), HARPER’S (New York, NY), Jecza Gallery (Timisoara / Bucharest, RO), Superposition (Nomadic), and TERN (Nassau, BS). “This edition reflects the deep relationships we’ve built with galleries and artists, collectors, curators and institutions, and the broader art community. From established international voices to promising young talent, our goal is to always expand the possibilities of the art fair model and continue supporting galleries and artists every step of the way,” says Clara Andrade Pereira, Executive Director.

2026 Miami Beach Exhibitors

This edition reinforces the fair’s role as a global platform for artistic discovery, bringing together artists with growing institutional recognition. Presentations will also foreground important cultural narratives, from Australian Aboriginal art to Native American practices, and photography emerges as one of the fair’s most dynamic throughlines. To complement these broader threads, we invite you to learn more about the highlights from each sector below.

Artist Spotlight Agustina Ferreyra Director of OMR and Creative Director of BODEGA Ferreyra considers the idea of “futures” and the uncertainties of the present, bringing together 18 artists whose work imagines alternative possibilities while grappling with the social, political, technological, and emotional conditions that shape contemporary life. Highlights include Alexander Apóstol, presented by Beatriz Gil Galería (Caracas, VE); Dalton Gata, presented by Newchild (Antwerp, BE); Edgar Arceneaux, presented by Dreamsong (Minneapolis, MN); and Kiván Quiñones Beltrán, presented by PerezPuig (San Juan, PR).

Nest Willem Molesworth Co-Founder of PHD Group and PAVILION Nest returns as a dedicated section of the fair, curated by Molesworth, with an approach focused on collaboration and East Asia within a global context. The sector will feature 28 galleries and remains a key discovery space for emerging galleries, artists, and experimental practices, including new and returning exhibitors such as dive.seoul (Seoul, KR), DS GALERIE (Paris, FR), Eunoia (Kobe, JP), Teaspoon Projects(London, UK), and Sorondo Projects (Barcelona, ES).

Non-Profit For its second iteration, Untitled Art’s Non-Profit sector will feature 8 organizations, including Oolite Arts (Miami Beach, FL), Dimensions Variable (Miami, FL), and The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts(New York, NY). Like Nest, the sector is partially subsidized by the fair, providing an important platform for fundraising, research, and community engagement.

Spearheaded by Damîen Dakota, the 2026 Special Projects sector will feature ambitious projects engaging with the notion of cognitive dissonance. Participating artists and projects will be announced later this fall. In addition, 26 galleries will participate in both editions, reflecting the symbiotic relationships developing between Houston and Miami Beach. Untitled Art, Houston will take place at the George R. Brown Convention Center this October 2-4, 2026, with a VIP and Press Preview on Thursday, October 1.  We look forward to welcoming you to our upcoming editions.

RGR Galleria exhibition for Cesar Paternosto opens September 3, 2026 in Mexico City. Details below!

Paternosto abstractions are viewed from the artists lense inclusive of time spent in the the Americas. Argentina, Mexico, and the US were all home base to Paternosto.  

Galería RGR announces the representation of César Paternosto © Pedro A. Sánchez Tornero The gallery will present César Paternosto: Abstract Stone, the artist's first solo exhibition in Mexico since 1986, curated by Gabriela Rangel. The exhibition opens September 3, 2026, during GAMA Week in Mexico City. Galería RGR is proud to announce the representation of César Paternosto (b. 1931, La Plata, Argentina), a painter, sculptor, and theorist whose work locates the origins of abstraction in the Americas rather than in Europe. The gallery will open Abstract Stone, the artist's first solo exhibition in Mexico since 1986, on September 3, 2026. In 1969 Paternosto began painting on the lateral edges of his canvases, keeping the front a single unbroken color, most often white. He called it la visión oblicua, the oblique vision. The work cannot be taken in from the front alone: the viewer has to move around it, and the painting becomes an object. Lucy Lippard has written on his work since 1981, and in 2020 Hans Ulrich Obrist published a book-length interview with him, introduced by Lippard. César was making this argument long before the field was ready to hear it. He looked at Andean stone and Andean weaving and found a way into abstraction that did not pass through Europe. That is the conversation this gallery has been having since it opened, and he belongs in it. — Ricardo González Ramos, Founder and Director, Galería RGR Beginning in 1977, Paternosto traveled repeatedly to Peru and Bolivia to study Inca stonework and Andean weaving. The research produced both a new body of work and an argument in print: that abstraction has a genealogy in the Americas independent of European modernism. He set it out in Piedra abstracta: la escultura inca, una visión contemporánea, published in 1989 by the Mexican publisher Fondo de Cultura Económica, and expanded it for the English-language edition, The Stone and the Thread: Andean Roots of Abstract Art (University of Texas Press, 1996). The exhibition takes its title from the first of these two books. Transforming the support of painting was a project of the Río de la Plata avant-garde that César Paternosto brought up to date and carried into an important debate with Minimalism. His recovery of the memory of an Andean abstraction that predates the West is another of the layers added to the body of work Paternosto has bequeathed to the History of painting, with a capital H. — Gabriela Rangel, Executive Director, Museum of Contemporary Art, Tucson, and Artistic Director of Galería RGR, 2023–2025 Abstract Stone brings together thirteen works made between 1969 and 2021, most of them acrylic on canvas. The earliest, Tlön, is from 1969, the year Paternosto moved the marks to the edge of the canvas. The exhibition is weighted toward the painting that came out of the Andean research, including Tambo Colorado II (1991), and continues through Cuarteto(2006) and later work. At Galería RGR, Paternosto joins artists with whom he crossed paths over the course of his career. In 1966 he took the first prize at the III Bienal Americana de Arte in Córdoba, Argentina, where Carlos Cruz-Diez won the grand prize from a jury chaired by Alfred H. Barr, Jr. In 1971, Jesús Rafael Soto acquired Paternosto's Discurrimiento (1970) for the collection he was then assembling in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela, which opened two years later as the Museo de Arte Moderno Jesús Soto. In 1974, all three showed together in Madrid, at Galería Aele. His work will now be shown alongside theirs, in the gallery's exhibitions and at international art fairs. About César Paternosto César Paternosto was born in La Plata, Argentina, in 1931. He lived in New York from 1967 to 2004 and has lived in Segovia, Spain, since then. His painting Duino (1966) is currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in the collection gallery Hard Edges, Expanded Fields, and his work is held by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid and the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires. He has presented recent solo exhibitions at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid (2017) and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires (2019). In 2026, the Universidad Nacional de La Plata awarded him an honorary doctorate, and its Centro de Arte presented La imaginación geométrica, his first retrospective in the city of his birth.
