There is so much to see that four days are not enough to experience the fair in its entirety: Art Basel 2024 has become even more extensive, offering space for even more artists. From June 13 to 16, a total of 285 leading galleries from all over the world will travel to Basel. Works from all known areas will be on display, including painting, sculpture, photography and digital art. 22 galleries will be represented at the world-famous fair for the first time. A highlight is the Unlimited sector, where monumental works of art and particularly extensive serial projects will be presented. The show, once again curated by Giovanni Carmine, will feature Anna Uddenberg, Faith Ringgold, Henry Taylor, Keith Haring, Lu Yang, Lutz Bacher, Miriam Cahn and Robert Frank, among others.

Other sections include Messeplatz, Film, The Merian and Conversations, which is already celebrating its 20th anniversary. This section is dedicated to intercultural, future-oriented dialog. The Parcours sector also deserves special attention. Exhibited works of art in empty stores, a restaurant, a hotel and a brewery extend the exhibition area into the city. This sector has been continuously expanded for eight years. Exhibitors include Alvaro Barrington, Lap-See Lam, Lois Weinberger, Mandy El-Sayegh, Rirkrit Tiravanija and Ximena Garrido-Lecca. Numerous other renowned artists can be found at the fair, including William Copley, Ugo Rondinone, Etel Adnan, Sirous Namazi and Xie Nanxing.

Parallel to Art Basel, Liste Art Basel, which opened on June 10, will take place until June 16.Art.Salon

Dive deeper into the art world

London, Tate Britain

It was one of the most moving decades in the history of the United Kingdom: the 1980s, characterized by strikes, protests and AIDS. Photographers documented this period and in some cases became political activists themselves through their images. The exhibition The 80s: Photographing Britain opens on November 21 at the Tate Britain in London.

Guido Klumpe

It is in the context of functional architecture in urban spaces that Guido Klumpe finds the motifs that he stages with his camera as the poetry of the profane. His picturesque images unfold an opulent effect with a reduced formal language, showing us the beauty of the moment in the flow of everyday life.
