Every few minutes, planes zip in and out of Air Service Basel, the private terminal just outside the Swiss art capital. Most everyone there is just passing through—collectors traveling from far-flung corners of the world to find their next purchase. Then there are Vincent Lo Brutto and Pablo Stahl, the Frenchmen who opened an outpost of their gallery, Lo Brutto Stahl, there last year.
Since Lo Brutto and Stahl’s arrival, paintings and sculptures have dotted the terminal’s corridors, hangars, and even its offices. When one of their exhibitions opens, they host dinners and parties just feet from the tarmac, with guests raising their glasses as planes take off and land around them.
