Taylor Swift’s 1989 Tour: $86 Million Grossed (And Counting)

Taylor Swift's 1989 tour so far has grossed $86.2 million at 20 performances in the U.S. and Canada based on 771,460 sold seats at seven arenas and nine stadiums.

By Bob Allen

No surprise — Taylor Swift ’s 1989 tour continues to do blockbuster business.

Taylor Swift takes her 1989 World Tour back to No. 1 on this week’s roundup of Hot Tours (see list, below) for the third time since hitting the road in the U.S. in May. Fueling this top ranking are $28 million in sales from five shows at three of the tour’s 17 North American stadiums on the tour schedule, Chicago’s Soldier Field, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., and Vancouver’s BC Place Stadium.

The two-show run on July 18-19 at Soldier Field was a return engagement for Swift who first headlined at the Chicago venue in 2013 during her Red tour. Ticket sales at the stadium rose this year with a jump in single-show attendance by 4,245 seats.

The Gillette Stadium run on July 24-25 marked the pop star’s fourth consecutive tour to play the Boston-area venue. She has sold out a total of seven concerts at the stadium since her headlining debut on June 5, 2010, during the Fearless tour. Her overall sales at Gillette lands at $33.7 million from 395,229 sold seats.

The final stadium this week, BC Place in Vancouver, also hosted the singer-songwriter during the Red tour two years ago and reported a rise in sold tickets this summer. Attendance for her Aug. 1 event was 41,463, an increase of 321 fans.

With sales stats reported by AEG Live’s The Messina Group, tour producer and promoter, Swift’s 1989 tour so far has grossed $86.2 million at 20 performances in the U.S. and Canada based on 771,460 sold seats at seven arenas and nine stadiums. 25 cities remain on the tour’s North American trek that runs through the end of October. Currently only the North American box office numbers are included in the overall counts. The tour opener in Japan on May 5-6 and an eight-show European run in June have not yet been reported to Billboard .

Kenny Chesney Goes ‘Wild’ With 25th No. 1 on Country Airplay Chart

Country superstar Kenny Chesney follows in the No. 2 slot with $21 million in revenue from eight stops on his Big Revival tour covering North American markets this summer. Stadium dates in Minneapolis (July 18-19), Pasadena, Calif. (July 25) and Kansas City (Aug. 1), with Jason Aldean featured as co-headliner, are part of this week’s tally along with shows at three sheds and two arenas.

The ongoing Big Revival tour that continues through the end of August has now reached $83.5 million in box office sales after 48 performances. Overall attendance has already topped the one million mark, a feat accomplished on every Chesney tour since 2003’s Margaritas N’ Senoritas tour.

Ed Sheeran claims the third place Hot Tours ranking with two sellouts at Dublin’s 82,000-seat stadium, Croke Park, on July 24 and 25. With 162,208 tickets sold during the two-night stand, the English singer-songwriter grossed an impressive $11.5 million for the event, now the seventh highest grossing concert engagement for a single headliner since the beginning of 2015.

Eras Tour Openers: What To Know About Taylor Swift’s 10 Opening Acts

Sabrina Carpenter will be joining Swift at her international tour stops.

Taylor Swift has always been ahead of her time when it comes to selecting her opening acts. In 2013, she had collaborator Ed Sheeran open for her on the Red Tour before he blew up to superstardom. The same thing happened to Shawn Mendes after he was an opening act on the 1989 World Tour in 2015, and Charli XCX’s profile only rose after 2017’s Reputation Stadium Tour . So, it should come as no surprise to Swifties that Swift’s openers for the Eras Tour , her first trek in more than five years, are a who’s who of today’s most beloved artists and soon-to-be stars.

Rather than bring one or two artists to open every date as with her past tours, Swift has assembled an army of up-and-coming musicians and Grammy nominees, spreading them across the tour. Paramore, HAIM, Phoebe Bridgers, beabadoobee, MUNA, girl in red, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams, OWENN, and Sabrina Carpenter will all be opening for different dates on tour. In fact, if fans wanted to catch them all, you’d have to go to at least six different shows across the country — and then all the way to Latin America to see Carpenter in action.

Tickets were hard enough to get for one Eras Tour show, so if you’re one of the lucky Swifties who obtained seats, you need to know who’s going to perform on your date. This guide to Swift’s 10 Eras Tour opening acts will give everything you need to know, including each artist’s notable songs and their own connections to the 12-time Grammy winner.

Swift is kicking off the Eras Tour with a bang, having platinum-selling band Paramore open for the first two shows. Swift has been friends with lead singer Hayley Williams for quite some time, having her star in the “Bad Blood” video and bringing her out to sing “That’s What You Get” on the Speak Now Tour, and their friendship will only grow when Paramore also joins the European leg of the tour.

“Having Paramore join me on tour is such an honor,” Swift told Billboard in January. “We came up alongside each other as Nashville teenagers writing our own music, so it feels insanely special to kick off the tour together nearly two decades later.”

In May 2022, Swift posted a TikTok of her getting ready to make her NYU commencement speech, set to the tune of beabadoobee’s dreamy and bittersweet “See You Soon.” Swifties should’ve caught it as an Easter Egg, because the Filipino-British songwriter , who is labelmates with one of Swift’s favorite bands The 1975, will probably sing that ballad at her Eras Tour shows .

“I remember telling an interviewer that my dream support was Taylor Swift, and then I got a call from my manager saying she wants you to go on tour with her,” she told The Times in February. “I messaged all my girlfriends, ‘Guess f*cking what…’”

In October 2022, MUNA covered Swift’s folklore fan favorite “august” for Spotify’s “Live at Electric Lady” series. Just a couple weeks later, the proudly queer synth-pop band, who are signed to fellow opening act Bridgers’ label, were announced as one of the Eras Tour openers . It will be Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson’s biggest slot to date, after opening for Kacey Musgraves’ Star-crossed Unveiled Tour and Lorde’s Solar Power Tour.

“We were just starting to make music in college when 1989 came out,” McPherson recalled to Variety . “I remember a friend of mine gave me Fearless on a flash drive, and I was obsessed with ‘Fifteen’ and in my feelings.”

After collaborating with Swift on her Red (Taylor’s Version) “From the Vault” track “Nothing New” in 2021, Bridgers is taking the next step in their musical partnership by opening for Swift, even taking a small break from her supergroup boygenius for the Eras Tour. The duo has constantly praised each other’s catalogs, with Bridgers calling Swift’s music “high art” on Charli XCX’s radio show Best Song Ever . “She’s like the king of her craft,” she said. “She’s just a perfect example of someone who uses all the resources at her disposal to be completely genuine.”

Swift has a special fondness for the color red, so it’s no surprise that she quickly became a fan of girl in red , supporting her debut album If I Could Make It Go Quiet on her Instagram Story in May 2021, which would also double as a hint about Red (Taylor’s Version) . The emerging artist said that Swift even sent her an email that was as long as a “f*cking book.” “I was like, ‘I love you so much... you’re my everything,’” she told iHeartRadio.

Swift and the HAIM sisters have a long history. The band appeared as opening acts for a few shows on the 1989 World Tour, and they’ve all stayed close friends ever since, with Swift often joking that she’s the fourth Haim sister . Their musical partnership has grown as well, with HAIM lending story inspiration and background vocals on Swift’s evermore track “no body, no crime,” and Swift returning the favor for a remix of their 2020 song “Gasoline.” At this point, the Eras Tour is just another fun reunion.

Gayle probably wouldn’t say “abcdefu” directly to Swift, but she will be singing it with thousands of people at the Eras Tour. After releasing her two-part EP A Study of the Human Experience and landing her first Grammy nomination in 2022, Swift has now given Gayle a new feat to check off her list.

She’ll technically be the first person overall to perform on the Eras Tour, as she’s the first opener on opening night. “It just means the world to me,” she said on Apple Music 1 on March 10. “I had no clue what I was going to do this year. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I had the best year of my life. What am I going to do next year?’ And she was like, ‘Here’s something to add to your calendar.’”

After opening for Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour Tour and making her debut album Good Riddance with Swift’s folklore and evermore collaborator Aaron Dessner, the indie-pop singer is now slated to play the most shows of all Eras Tour openers.

“She’s as spectacular a person and friend as she is an artist, writer, director,” Abrams told Billboard in February. “She’s really that great. To be able to lean on her in any capacity really means a lot. I’m so stoked to watch her crush it every single night. To see her up close in that way and be able to study that is the greatest gift.”

While OWENN may not be an immediate familiar face, you’ve seen him before without even realizing it. He starred in Swift’s 2019 “Lover” video as the titular lover, and before then, he got his start as a dancer and choreographer for the likes of Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X, and Swift. After Swift helped him get signed to Republic Records, he’s putting his music career in the spotlight as the only male opening act on the Eras Tour. “I cried like a little baby,” he told iHeartRadio about his reaction to finding out he’d be an opener.

Carpenter is one of pop music’s fastest-rising stars, with her fifth album Emails I Can’t Send breaking her out of the Disney mold and becoming her highest-charting record. The singer doesn’t have a huge public history with Swift, aside from attending the Eras Tour in Philadelphia, but her reaction to joining the Latin American shows proves she’s been a Swiftie all along.

Taking to Twitter, Carpenter shared a screenshot of a tweet she wrote after attending the Fearless Tour in 2010, alongside the Latin American tour poster. “Trying to process this but alas i shant,” she wrote. “Thank u @taylorswift13 u the 1 :’) this is the dreamiest dream come true.”

Taylor Swift 1989 World Tour

McLaren Engineering Group provided engineering services for The 1989 World Tour, Taylor Swift’s fourth world concert tour, which visited four continents and promoted her “1989” album. Work included mainstage deck elements, band risers and self-climbing lifts – as well as rigging for lighting, video and sound for both indoor and outdoor venues.

Propeller Stage Element

McLaren engineered a “propeller” stage unit, a 100-foot-long truss designed to be semi-modular, allowing it to be installed in large and small venues. In addition to a tilting axis, the propeller was equipped with a central bearing and a dedicated motor, allowing it to rotate about its center at a maximum rate of 1.5 RPM—a 7.8 foot-per-second speed at the extreme ends.

The entertainment engineering design accounted for both strength and serviceability concerns including weight, lifting capacity, touring load in/out capabilities, deflection and natural frequency issues, and both public and performer safety. The design of such a complex machine required constant communication with the technical team at TAIT to ensure its capacity, safety and reliability. The final product was a safe and reliable machine capable of touring internationally with consistent performance.

Additional Services

Additional engineering services McLaren Engineering Group provided include structural analysis, fabrication and installation inspection, mobile stage structures design, static and dynamic analysis, range of motion study, and staging structures design.

On December 13, 2018, Taylor thanked everyone for her birthday wishes on Instagram and also announced that there was going to be a tour movie for the Reputation Stadium Tour that would be released on New Year's Eve, titled Taylor Swift: reputation Stadium Tour . It was filmed at the last Dallas/Arlington show, which was the final US leg date. It featured the surprise song " All Too Well ".

Taylor Swift designed her own stage, complete with an elevator, and a rapid changing room for her eight costumes.

The main screen was 110 feet tall and and made of 12 columns and 1,5OO LED tiles that split into 49 individual screens that moved depending on the song. The stage design is an X shape and it also features a B & C Stage that Taylor accessed with the floating constellation and snake gondolas during " Delicate " and the " Bad Blood "/" Should've Said No " mashup. The band played right behind the main screen and during certain parts of the show, the screen opened and the audience could see them.

During " Look What You Made Me Do ", there was a giant inflatable snake named Karyn on the stage as well as smaller inflatable snakes on the B & C Stage and for the show encore, a water fountain was installed on stage. There were also fire, smoke and fireworks effects throughout the show from the stage. The LED bracelets distributed to the attendees were interactive with the songs and stage visuals.

• Share full article

By Will Heinrich

Dance is in vogue this fall, with a pair of major museum shows for the choreographers Alvin Ailey and Ralph Lemon . Prints are having a moment, too, as Mexican and Japanese examples show up in New York and Washington , D.C. Otherwise, the onrushing season is the usual wild mix of Renaissance painting , innovative video art , subway car graffiti , documentary photography and quietly subversive corporate lobby art , from New York City to Columbus, Ohio, and on to California. (Dates are subject to change; locations are in Manhattan unless otherwise specified.)

SCOTT BURTON: SHAPE SHIFT For this largest-ever show of Scott Burton’s work at an American museum, the contemporary artists Brendan Fernandes and Gordon Hall have been commissioned to write performance scores and an experimental lecture in response to the furniture-like sculptural works of Burton (1939-1989), who was a multidisciplinary artist, critic and curator. (Sept. 6-Feb. 2, 2025; Pulitzer Arts Foundation , St. Louis)

THE ARMORY SHOW Leap with both feet into the fall art season at this fair of more than 200 galleries from 35 countries. (Sept. 6-8; the Javits Center)

FUTURA 2000: BREAKING OUT Futura 2000, born Leonard Hilton McGurr, began writing graffiti in the 1970s. After he made his name in 1980 with a piece called “Break” — an abstract composition on an entire subway car — he went on to show paintings alongside Basquiat and Rammellzee, tour with the Clash and collaborate with Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami. It’s fitting that this retrospective takes place in the Bronx, just a few blocks from where he used to watch his handiwork pass by on elevated train tracks. (Sept. 8-March 30, 2025; the Bronx Museum )

PARIS 1874: THE IMPRESSIONIST MOMENT Works from what became known as the first Impressionist exhibition will hang with paintings and sculptures from that year’s official Salon. (Sept. 8-Jan. 19, 2025; National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C .)

MEXICAN PRINTS AT THE VANGUARD Prints like José Guadalupe Posada’s unforgettable skeletons and collectible versions of Diego Rivera’s famous murals have been at the heart of Mexico’s visual identity for centuries — and a significant number of them live at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. (Sept. 12-Jan. 5, 2025; Metropolitan Museum of Art )

ELIZABETH CATLETT: A BLACK REVOLUTIONARY ARTIST AND ALL THAT IT IMPLIES More than 150 works by a pioneering sculptor and printmaker (1915-2012) who combined the influence of Mexican muralists with a subject matter of Black liberation. (Sept. 13-Jan. 19, 2025; Brooklyn Museum )

PST ART: ART & SCIENCE COLLIDE This large-scale successor to “Pacific Time,” sponsored by the Getty, involves more than 800 artists in 50 shows at museums, galleries and other cultural institutions from Santa Barbara, Calif., to San Diego. Organizing themes include climate change, artificial intelligence and other pressing topics. (Sept. 15-Feb. 16, 2025; multiple venues)

LIFE DANCES ON: ROBERT FRANK IN DIALOGUE On the centennial of his birth, the Swiss-born American photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank is honored with a major show at Pace Gallery , a new edition of “ The Americans ” from Aperture — and his first ever solo exhibition at MoMA, in the form of this huge retrospective. (Sept. 15-Jan. 11, 2025; Museum of Modern Art )

ÁLVARO URBANO Three years before his 1989 death, of AIDS-related illness, Scott Burton installed a multifaceted sculpture, which included an unusual marble bench, in the lobby of the Equitable Center in Midtown Manhattan, where it remained until it was dislodged during a renovation in 2020. Now, the Spanish sculptor Álvaro Urbano will reconstruct pieces of the rescued sculpture along with accents that evoke a wooded section of Central Park known as the Ramble. (Sept. 19-March 24, 2025; SculptureCenter )

MING SMITH Two concurrent shows at the Columbus Museum of Art headline a major homecoming for this Harlem-based, Columbus-raised photographer, best known for the lush precision of her candid street shots. (She also has shows at the Wexner Center for the Arts and at Kenyon College’s the Gund .) (Sept. 19-Jan. 26, 2025; Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio )

EDGES OF AILEY A multimedia exhibition and a series of live performances aim to show the influential modern dancer and choreographer Alvin Ailey in his larger cultural context. (Sept. 25-Feb. 9, 2025; Whitney Museum )

MAKE WAY FOR BERTHE WEILL: ART DEALER OF THE PARISIAN AVANT-GARDE Berthe Weill (1865-1951) promoted Matisse and Modigliani, and was Picasso’s first dealer. This overdue show will include many pieces that once hung in her gallery. (Oct. 1-March 1, 2025; Grey Art Museum, N.Y.U. )

REINSTALLATION OF THE AMERICAN ART GALLERIES In honor of its 200th anniversary, the Brooklyn Museum is staging a rehang of its millenia-deep Western Hemisphere collections informed by Indigenous and Black feminist perspectives, which will include more than a hundred works that have never been exhibited. (Oct. 4; Brooklyn Museum )

AMERICAN, BORN HUNGARY: KERTESZ, CAPA AND THE HUNGARIAN AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHIC LEGACY Andre Kertesz, Robert Capa and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy are just three of the more than 30 influential photojournalists and photographers included in this tribute to the Hungarian contribution to the American visual experience. (Oct. 5-Jan. 26, 2025; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts , Richmond, Va.)

REIMAGINE: HIMALAYAN ART NOW Your last chance to visit the final show — a roundup of work by contemporary artists of Himalayan descent — before the Rubin Museum closes its doors for good. (Closing Oct. 6; Rubin Museum )

CHARLES ATLAS: ABOUT TIME The video and film pioneer Charles Atlas started his career by getting his own camera moving as he documented dances for Merce Cunningham’s company. For his first survey at an American museum, he’ll revisit and remix 50 years of portraits, studies and collaborations, with Yvonne Rainer, Leigh Bowery and others, and turn several early videos into multi-screen immersive installations. (Oct. 10-March 16, 2025; ICA/Boston )

TACITA DEAN: BLIND FOLLY Monumental blackboard drawings, “portraits” of trees and a rotating group of 16 mm films, including one of Claes Oldenburg at work, are among the delights in this first major American survey for Tacita Dean, a Turner Prize-winning British artist. (Oct. 11-April 19, 2025; Menil Collection , Houston)

THE WAY I SEE IT: SELECTIONS FROM THE KAWS COLLECTION The hugely successful pop artist KAWS has amassed a spectacular trove of drawings, including works by Robert Crumb, Gladys Nilsson and Adolf Wölfli. Where better to show them than the trusty SoHo nonprofit dedicated to the form? (Oct. 10-Jan. 19, 2025; the Drawing Center)

WILLIAM GROPPER: ARTIST OF THE PEOPLE A timely look at the work of an early 20th-century social realist illustrator who took on every sort of injustice in the pages of The New York Tribune and The Sunday Worker. (Oct. 12-Jan. 5, 2025; Phillips Collection , Washington, D.C.)

SIENA: THE RISE OF PAINTING, 1300-1350 Loans from the National Gallery, London, and many others round out the Met’s own exceptional collection of golden, mysterious paintings from the smoldering dawn of the Italian Renaissance. (Oct. 13-Jan. 26, 2025; Metropolitan Museum of Art )

AUDREY FLACK: MIDCENTURY TO POST-POP BAROQUE A wide-ranging exhibition of work by the doyenne of photorealism , beginning with her early abstractions and continuing through the cartoonlike “Post-Pop Baroque” style of her final years. Complementing Audrey Flack will be the Parrish’s concurrent show of the even more extravagantly detailed street scenes of the contemporary artist Bertrand Meniel . (Oct. 13-April 6, 2025; Parrish Art Museum , Water Mill, N.Y.)

EGON SCHIELE: LIVING LANDSCAPES The Austrian boy wonder best known for emaciated figures put just as much character into his flat, childlike houses and winsome anthropomorphic trees. (Oct. 17-Jan. 13, 2025; Neue Galerie )

BELLE DA COSTA GREENE: A LIBRARIAN’S LEGACY Passing for white, though she was the daughter of Harvard’s first Black graduate, Belle da Costa Greene was the personal librarian to J.P. Morgan before spending nearly a quarter of a century directing what is now called the Morgan Library & Museum, which was founded as a public institution in 1924. (Oct. 25-May 4, 2025; Morgan Library & Museum )

THE ART SHOW Of the 75 galleries setting up booths at this annual fair that benefits the Henry Street Settlement, more than 40 will be presenting solo exhibitions. (Oct. 30-Nov. 2; Park Avenue Armory)

HARMONY AND DISSONANCE: ORPHISM IN PARIS, 1910-1930 Between cubism and full-blown abstraction came Orphism, a colorful, almost musical style of painting pioneered by Robert and Sonia Delaunay and named by the poet Guillaume Apollinaire after an ancient Greek mystery religion. This show of more than 80 paintings, sculptures and works on paper brings the music to all five levels of the Guggenheim. (Nov. 8-March 9, 2025; Guggenheim Museum )

DRAW THEM IN, PAINT THEM OUT: TRENTON DOYLE HANCOCK CONFRONTS PHILIP GUSTON Four years ago, a decision by several institutions to postpone a major Philip Guston show was widely criticized . Now, the Jewish Museum puts Guston’s satirical, self-conscious, complicated cartoons of Ku Klux Klansmen in conversation with the contemporary painter Doyle Hancock’s Black superhero, Torpedo Boy . (Nov. 8-March 30, 2025; Jewish Museum )

THE AMERICAN WING AT 100 Recent acquisitions and a few key loans will anchor a thoughtful new design for the Met’s American wing in its centennial year. (Nov. 8; Metropolitan Museum )

THE LIVING END: PAINTING AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES, 1970-2020 It should be clear by now that, contra the radicals of a previous generation, painting never died. But how exactly did it survive the onslaughts of photography, television and conceptual art? Works by more than 40 artists, in a variety of formats, showcase the ingenuity and everlasting adaptability of mankind’s most glamorous artistic medium. (Nov. 9-April 13, 2025; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago )

CEREMONIES OUT OF THE AIR: RALPH LEMON In addition to sculpture, photography, drawing and painting, this first museum survey for the choreographer and polymath will include collaborative performances and dance premieres. (Nov. 14-March 24, 2025; MoMA PS1 )

JOSÉ PARLÁ: HOMECOMING The highlights of this diverse, large-scale exhibition of work, by the hometown multimedia favorite José Parlá, include a replica of the artist’s studio, a site-specific mural painted live and paintings that include reclaimed tatters of outdoor poster. (Nov. 14-April 27, 2025; Pérez Art Museum Miami )

JOSEPH BEUYS: IN DEFENSE OF NATURE Between 1982 and 1987, Joseph Beuys planted 7,000 oak trees in Kassel, Germany, each paired with a basalt pillar. In concert with this show of more than 400 pieces from the 1960s to the 1980s — and as part of PST ART — the Broad will replant 100 California coast live oak trees in Elysian Park in Los Angeles. (Nov. 16-April 6, 2025; the Broad, Los Angeles)

THE PRINT GENERATION The 19th-century Japanese woodblock prints that made such an impression on Western modernists were almost as elaborate as movies — designed by auteurs like Hokusai or Hiroshige but carved and printed by hordes of specialists. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that Japanese artists began to do everything themselves, making works, like the ones displayed here, that were “rough, raw and unique.” (Nov. 16-April 27, 2025; Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art , Washington, D.C.)

MARTHA DIAMOND: DEEP TIME The influential downtown painter of semi-abstracted Manhattan buildings, who died in 2023 , gets her first major monograph and an in-depth survey, organized with the Colby College Museum of Art. (Nov. 17-May 18, 2025; Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum , Ridgefield, Conn.)

FLIGHT INTO EGYPT: BLACK ARTISTS AND ANCIENT EGYPT, 1876-NOW Named for Henry Ossawa Tanner’s 1923 painting of the Holy Family fleeing King Herod, this major show will explore the fertile, complicated and ongoing interest artists have had in ancient Egypt. With nearly 200 works, in a range of media, that include significant loans from around the world, it will also be the Met’s first show to ever include a dedicated performance space, the “Performance Pyramid.” (Nov. 17-Feb. 17, 2025; the Met)

NADA MIAMI Get your feet wet in Miami at this annual fair staged by the young, hip and increasingly muscular New Art Dealers Alliance. (Dec. 3-7; Ice Palace Studios , Miami)

IMAGINARY BOOKS: LOST, UNWRITTEN AND FICTIVE WORKS FOUND ONLY IN OTHER BOOKS This irresistible conceptual-art installation displays meticulously constructed simulacra of books that don’t exist — some because they’ve been lost, others because they never did exist. Look for “Love’s Labour’s Won,” Ernest Hemingway’s first novel, and the “Necronomicon.” (Dec. 5-Feb. 15, 2025; Grolier Club)

ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH This first edition of the undisputed headliner of American art fairs is under the direction of the innovative gallerist Bridget Finn. It brings together nearly 300 galleries of all sizes and types from around the world. (Dec. 6-8; Miami Beach Convention Center )

PICASSO AND PAPER Prints, sketchbooks, constructed paper guitars and “Femmes à leur toilette,” a 14-foot collage never before shown in the United States, join several hundred drawings in this monster exhibition organized with the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in collaboration with the Musée Picasso, Paris.
