Showcasing the rare and historical masterpieces, as well as the contemporary works by today’s emerging artists, the shows took place at Messe Basel from June 16 to 19, 2022.
We were once again delighted to welcome the international art world to Basel in June. This year we witnessed strong collector and curator attendance not only from across Europe, but also the Americas and Asia. This show truly demonstrates the importance of in-person events as a platform for vibrant encounters between cultural players.
– says Marc Spiegler, Global Director, Art Basel.
