Art Basel

The Messeplatz at Art Basel.

June 19 – July 22, 2025
Messepl. 10, 4005 Basel, Switzerland

Ever wonder where Art Basel Miami started? That would be Basel, Switzerland. The older art fair has brought together the international art world for over 50 years. This year, it features more than 290 leading galleries and 4,000 artists. Discover emerging talents like Rio de Janeiro’s Mariana Rocha or revisit renowned favorites such as Katharina Grosse, who will transform Messeplatz into a vivid chromatic environment. At Art Basel, the world feels as if it’s without borders or boundaries. Art, Grosse once said, is where “there is no boundary between reality and the imagination.” —Carolina de Armas
