Célia Megias is the fairs and collecting director of Art to See. She covers the fair circuit, from the Art Basel editions in Basel, Paris, Miami Beach, Hong Kong and Doha to Frieze, TEFAF and The Armory Show. Miami Art Week is her standing beat: Art Basel Miami Beach, the satellite fairs that fill the rest of the week, and the collectible design market that sits alongside them. She also covers the collecting mechanics of the circuit, the preview tiers and VIP programs that decide who sees a work first, and the biennials that shape what the fairs will be selling in three years.
She came to trade journalism from buying, merchandising, and brand strategy for retailers in Paris and Barcelona, and reports from the international trade floor for Retail to See, where she is fashion and beauty director. Her interest at both publications is the same: the machinery underneath a market, and the gap between what an organizer announces and what dealers actually say afterwards.
At Art to See she has covered the full Art Basel circuit through its 2025 and 2026 editions, from the flagship Basel fair and Hong Kong to the inaugural Doha edition, alongside the 2025 Miami Art Week in full, Art Basel Paris, Frieze London, TEFAF Maastricht, The Armory Show, the Venice Biennale's 2026 edition, and the preview-tier economics now reshaping how the major fairs sell. Based in Barcelona.
