The ‘Olympics of the Art World’ is a title often used to describe Art Basel. And without a doubt the Swiss art fair is one of the most important art events of the year. From Thursday, June 19 until Sunday, June 22 2014, over 300 leading galleries from North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa show the work of more than 4,000 artists, ranging from the great masters of Modern art to the latest generation of emerging stars.
The show's individual sectors represent every artistic medium: paintings, sculpture, installations, videos, multiples, prints, photography, and performance. Each day offers a full program of events, including lectures, films, and artist talks. Further afield, exhibitions and events are offered by cultural institutions in Basel and the surrounding area, creating an exciting, region-wide art week.
