Art Basel has named the 285 galleries that will line the corridors of its marquee June fair in Switzerland. The upcoming event, which will have its preview days on June 13 and 14, will be the first Swiss edition steered by new CEO Noah Horowitz, who took over the helm from longtime global director Marc Spiegler at the beginning of the year.
On the roster are few surprises and many of the usual suspects: mega-galleries Hauser & Wirth and David Zwirner are all attending, surely with sprawling real estate, alongside Goodman Gallery, Jeffrey Deitch, James Cohan Gallery, which are all returning.
The fair is welcoming 21 first-timers to its main sector, including blank projects from Cape Town, South Africa, Empty Gallery from Hong Kong, and Offer Waterman from London. A little room was made—notably, Galerie König, a mainstay at the fair is absent this year. The gallery did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Clearing, which had participated in Paris+ by Art Basel, the new Paris art fair which kicked off in October with a formidable debut, is graduating to the main sector from the Feature sector in 2022; as is Vienna’s Croy Nielsen, which had also shown Nina Beier as part of Paris+ off-site sector—their presence suggests that a new corridor to get coveted spots in Basel has been opened. Jan Kaps from Cologne, mor charpentier from Paris and Bogota, and Deborah Schamoni from Munich are also graduating from Features and Statements to the main sector.
Another change comes to the format. Art Basel’s Feature sector, which has typically been host to tightly curated booths (no salon-style group hangs here) will be even further honed to officially focus on “art-historical” projects. There will be a re-staging of Colette Lumiere’s 1977 performance sleep, presented by Company Gallery, where the artist embodies a tragic heroine in a state of rest within her fantastical built environments—these radical living art pieces will likely be a crowd-favorite. A survey of works on paper spanning from 1915 to 1979 by artist Sonia Delaunay, co-founder of the Orphism art movement and a pioneer of geometric abstraction, will be presented by Galerie Zlotowski, from Paris.
Last year, Art Basel applied a more relaxed policy on fair applicants to its flagship art fair, which is notoriously tough to get into (once you are in, there are also no promises that you will be welcomed back the following year). The fair reduced the minimum number of exhibitions a gallery must hold per year, the number of years the gallery must have been in operation, and the prerequisite of having a permanent gallery space. LC Queisser from Tbilsi, and Paris’s sans titre, will debut there after stints at the emerging art fair Liste next door.
The main concourse will be taken over with a site-specific installation by Latifa Echakhch, whose work was on view at the Swiss Pavilion at the 59th International Venice Biennale—an atmospheric, post-apocalyptic installation. The artist is represented by Pace Gallery and Kamel Mennour, who are both in the main sectors at Art Basel. The still-under-wraps project will, according to Vincenzo de Bellis, Art Basel’s director of fairs and exhibition platforms, invite fair-goers “to rediscover the public dimension of the square.”
