Art Basel 2021

24. – 26. September 2021

Art Basel 2021 presents a line-up of 272 premier galleries from 33 countries and territories. 24 galleries – ranging from London and Pristina to New York and Buenos Aires – join the fair for the first time.

Art Basel’s first in-person show in Basel since the pandemic will embrace a hybrid format, bridging the physical and the digital to engage with the broadest possible audiences, onsite and online.

In order to best support exhibitors in today’s landscape, Art Basel is offering a series of new models and approaches to participate in the show, including joint and satellite booths, which were first successfully introduced at Art Basel Hong Kong in May and allow exhibitors whose physical presence is not possible to present their own small, curated exhibitions staffed by a local representativeappointed by Art Basel.

Marc Spiegler, Global Director of Art Basel, said: ‘While the pandemic has been a time of resilience and innovation, it has not always been one of discovery – patrons have often not been able to discover the work of new artists; likewise, galleries have not had ample opportunities to meet new collectors who can start to engage with and then later sustain their programs. That’s why it’s so important to be able to stage our show again in person, while at the same time building upon the digital innovations of the past year to continue engaging the broadest possible audiences worldwide.’
