Art dealers are gathering up for the next edition of Art Basel (June 18-21). After the New York’s auction season, this is the place to go.
Basel is considered the mecca of art fairs and it will gather the most important art galleries in the world. The city turns to a vibrant place where everything happens and where the energy is great!
Basel boasts works by distinguished architects like Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, and SANAA. Koch is also formerly managing director at Basel’s Beyeler Foundation.
Featuring nearly 300 galleries hailing from cities as far-flung as Tel Aviv, São Paulo, and Beijing, Art Basel 2015 is in its 46th year.
You will see the latest art exhibitions that were in the best museums around the world. This Art Basel edition promises to be a hit.

William Kentridge’s show “The Refusal of Time” at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art last year turned a lot of heads; the New York Times’ Holland Cotter called it “audience pleasing in the best, challenging sense.” In Basel, New York/Paris/London dealer Marian Goodman offers sculptures and works on paper by the South African artist. She’s known for dramatic presentations at fairs, having turned over a Frieze New York booth to a performance by Tino Sehgal. She’ll also offer work from her international roster, including Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Lawrence Weiner, and Yang Fudong.
