ART BASEL

It's one of the art world's biggest events, born in 1970 when a group of Swiss gallery owners decided to promote their artists and their works at a single fair in Basel. This was the beginning of Art Basel, the great adventure that continues to this day and now extends across the oceans. For four days in June, Basel becomes the nerve center of the world's most influential contemporary art market, showcasing works from the early ^20th century to the present day. Everything is on sale, and there's something for every budget.
