15 Jun, 2017 - 18 Jun, 2017
Our Basel show brings the international artworld together, with 291 of the world's leading galleries showing the work of over 4,000 artists. A full program of artworld talks takes place each day. Exhibitions and events are also offered by cultural institutions in Basel and the surrounding area, creating an exciting, region-wide art week.
The anchor of Art Basel鈥檚 show is its Galleries sector. Visitors will discover a breadth of Modern and contemporary works including paintings, drawings, sculpture, installations, prints, photography, video and digital art by more than 4,000 artists.
Projects from established and historical artists are precisely curated by gallerists in the Feature sector. Projects may include solo presentations, juxtapositions, and thematic exhibits from artists representing a wide range of cultures, generations, and artistic approaches.
Statements presents exciting new solo projects by emerging artists, who are eligible to receive the prestigious Baloise Art Prize. The Baloise Group acquires artworks by the award-winning artists, which it then donates to important European art institutions.
Leading publishers of editioned works, prints, and multiples exhibit the results of their colLaboration with renowned artists, providing visitors the opportunity to see significant, and rare publications.
Curated by New York-based curator Gianni Jetzer, Unlimited is Art Basel鈥檚 pioneering exhibition platform for projects that transcend the classical art-show stand, including massive sculpture and paintings, video projections, large-scale installations, and live performances.
The Parcours sector engages the public and fairgoers by placing site-specific sculptures, interventions, and performances in the city鈥檚 neighborhoods. Artworks by renowned established artists and emerging talents will be on display on and around Basel鈥檚 M眉nsterplatz. Parcours is curated by Samuel Leuenberger of SALTS exhibition space.
Art Basel鈥檚 week-long program of films by and about artists is curated by Maxa Zoller. Known for her roaming series of experimental film screenings, Zoller plans a diverse and challenging program of works that together create a dialog about the medium of film today.
Art publications from around the world display their magazines in single-magazine stands or the collective booth. Editors and publishers often attend the show and many magazines contribute presentations to Conversations, our series of lectures and discussions by prominent members of the artworld.
