30 August 2026 — Petrograd, December 1915. The Russian avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich hung his Black Square in the corner of an apartment converted into a gallery. He placed it in the exact spot reserved in a Russian household for icons. The exhibition was called 0,10: The Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings. The zero stood for the reduction of painting to nothing, the ten for the artists who were to build what came after. It was not a group show so much as a claim that painting had been reset to nothing and would have to be reinvented from first principles. One hundred and ten years later, Art Basel borrowed the name.
Zero 10 was launched at Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2025 as the fair group’s first sector devoted entirely to art of the digital era in all its forms: digital, generative, computational, algorithmic, AI-driven, robotic, and immersive practice. The reference to Malevich was deliberate — a signal to the market that what was arriving was not a technology showcase but a new chapter in art, one whose medium needed a canon of its own.
