Basel

For many collectors it's a regular fixture in June: a visit to the leading art fairs Art Basel and LISTE. At Art Basel you will find the top of the international art world, where in addition to work by more than 4,000 artists there is also room for large-scale museum installations. LISTE takes place at the same time as Art Basel and provides an important platform for fresh talent. During this trip you will also visit the spectacular Fondation Beyeler museum and a special private collection. Cocktails and dinner are included!

Program (subject to change)

Friday, June 16
Friday is arrival day, with time in the afternoon to visit Museum Schaulager, Museum Tinguely or Kunsthalle Basel on your own.

17:00 Visit to June Art Fair
Unlike most fairs, this very young fair has no booths or sections, making it - in the words of Artnews - a relaxed counterpart to the " high-pressure Basel landscape."

20:30 Cocktails & introductions at Cargo Bar
In the evening, we get to know each other better over cocktails with a extraordinary view of the river that runs through the city.

Saturday, June 17
10:00 Visit Art Basel Parcours or Art Basel Unlimited .
Before we enter the exhibition floor, there is the opportunity to discover Art Basel Unlimited on your own: a huge space filled with monumental works of art by the biggest names in the art world. Also worthwhile is Art Basel Parcours: a route through the city with artworks in public space.

11:00 Visit to Art Basel including introduction and guided tour
At Art Basel we will visit a number of stands together, where you will come into contact with a wide range of fascinating works of art and various gallery owners will answer your questions about them. Afterwards you can discover the fair for yourself: there is a lot to see! It is also possible to have lunch at the fair.

16:00 Visit to Liste including an introduction
After Art Basel, we move on to Liste, which is located in the same place as Art Basel this year. We start our visit together with a comprehensive introduction to the fair by the director.

At Photo Basel you will find contemporary photography by artists from all over the world; it is an excellent place to explore what is happening in the world of photography today.
