We could not be more ready for summer and for Art Basel, which signifies the end of an incredibly busy spring. The fair is the last big event on the calendar before the art world takes off for a long holiday. So Whitewaller is here to help you get in your art fix between now and September.
The fair is the original mega art fair, and hundreds of international galleries will be bringing their best. During Art Basel, we always look forward to Unlimited, as well as satellite fairs like LISTE, Design Miami/ Basel, VOLTA14, and photo basel. Museums including Kunsthalle Basel, Fondation Beyeler, and others need to be at the top of your must-see list.
