Art Basel’s Online Viewing Rooms Return with Brand New Works

“The viewing rooms that comprise Art Basel’s ‘OVR:2020’ represent an incredible force and variety of artistic perspectives, which together offer our audiences across the globe the opportunity to experience artists’ most recent works—both conveying and contending with the lived experiences of our time,” said Marc Spiegler, Art Basel’s Global Director.

Presenting exhibitions of single artists are galleries like François Ghebaly showing Ludovic Nkoth, Salon 94 presenting new photographs by Marilyn Minter, White Cube’s “Open Body” by Antony Gormley, and Alison Jacques Gallery’s presentation of new works by Erika Verzutti.

Highlights include Jibade-Khalil Huffman’s study of the contradictory and deeply rooted nature of racism in America, shown by Anat Ebgi; Jenkins Johnson Gallery’s group show “Stand Up, Speak Up, Speak Out,” with works by Lisa Corinne Davis, Rashaad Newsome, Blessing Ngobeni, Amani Lewis, and Raelis Vasquez; and Jessica Silverman’s showing of Sadie Barnette, whose work highlights her father Rodney Barnette—a founding member of the Black Panther Party.

Other artists presenting work include Beatriz Cortez, Carolina Caycedo, Clarissa Tossin, Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio, and EJ Hill presented by Commonwealth and Council, Various Small Fires’ showing of Californian artists Jessie Homer French, Judith Linhares, Calida Rawles, Glen Wilson, and Anna Sew Hoy; and Pawel Althamer, shown by Foksal Gallery Foundation.
