Founded in 1970, Art Basel has been a driving force in supporting the role that galleries play in the nurturing of artists, and the development and promotion of visual arts.
Art Basel has been described as the ‘Olympics of the Art World’.Approximately 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 exhibition includes the highest-quality in paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, photographs, videos, prints and performances by world-renowned artists.
