Is it December already? Traditionally eggnog and mistletoe dominate this month, but, for New York’s art worlders, champagne, beaches and fine art have become synonymous with this time of year thanks to a Swiss art fair.

Art Basel originated in the strategically placed city of Basel in 1970, but the Miami edition wasn’t born until 2002. The concept belonged to a previous director named Lorenzo Rudolf but his successor, Sam Keller, was instrumental in turning this once-insular trade fair into the global lifestyle brand that it is today. But despite all the glitz and glam that surrounded the fair over the years, Mr. Keller never forgot to vehemently cultivate Art Basel’s main ingredient: fantastic art.

The 2015 edition of the show is bigger (267 galleries) and stronger than ever, and we’ve selected 7 booths that you should make sure to check out during your rounds.
