Art Basel 2021

With the art world beginning to stage large in-person events again, Art Basel has announced the galleries that will participate in its marquee Swiss fair. The first in-person fair to be staged by Art Basel since December 2019, the fair will bring together 273 galleries from 33 different countries at the Messe Basel and will be open to the public from September 24–26, with three VIP preview days beginning September 21. For this edition, the fair will bring together roughly the same number of galleries as it did in 2019. As with its Hong Kong fair in May, Art Basel rely on a hybrid format for the Swiss edition, which will include satellite booths operated by locals for gallerists who will not be able to travel to Switzerland for the fair because of travel restrictions. - Poster Artwork: Jannis Varelas
