The visitor was allegedly attacked inside the Miami Beach Convention Centre, where celebrities including Katie Holmes and Kylie Jenner were attending an event.
An argument between two women allegedly turned violent, and one of the females suffered stab wounds to the arms and neck.
Art Basel organisers released a statement after the incident, obtained by editors at People.com, which reads, "At 5:20 p.m. a visitor was assaulted by another visitor in the Nova sector of the fair. The attack was an isolated incident that was immediately secured.
"The victim was taken directly to the hospital and according to the Miami Beach Police Department the victim's injuries are non-life threatening. Our thoughts are with the victim."
Artist Naomi Fisher, who was at the art festival at the time of the drama, tells the Miami Herald newspaper, "A guy walked up to me and said, 'I thought I saw a performance, and I thought it was fake blood, but it was real blood'. It's horrible... I'm so freaked out. I feel nauseous."
