ART BASEL 2015 – THE CURATORS – Interior Design Blogs

Art Basel is the world’s premier Modern and contemporary art shows, annually in Basel, Miami Beach, and Hong Kong.

Founded by gallerists 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.

This fair hosts a series of conversations and talks on a range of subjects, including the collection and exhibition of art, understanding art from a geographical and historical perspective, and timely topics concerning the contemporary art scene. Artists, gallerists, art historians, curators, museum directors, publishers, and collectors participate in panel discussions, book signings, and interviews.
