Art Basel, the world’s most prominent fair, is back, and we’ve been covering it top to bottom to bring you the 10 best artworks, a breakout star, and several special highlights (here, here, and here). Now we turn our attention to a few of our favorite booths from artnet’s member galleries.

Galerie Max Hetzler is bringing its ‘A’ game to Basel this year. Its booth boasts some of the most important international artists working today, including Günther Förg, Albert Oehlen, and Julian Schnabel. The more frenetic canvases are tempered by a selection of Edmund de Waal‘s “landscapes,” or vitrines containing clusters of objects painted in black matte and gold. Other highlights of the booth include Raymond Hains‘s outsized bronze sculpture of a matchstick, photographs by Thomas Struth, and new work by Adam Pendleton. The gallery is also presenting Mahnmahl-Mahnmal, a plaster-covered installation by the German artist Inge Mahn in the Unlimited section.

For this edition of Art Basel, Sean Kelly Gallery is taking a unique approach to its curated booth with the expansive presentation “Three Generations,” which is comprised of three distinct installations that change over the course of the fair. The first installment features artists born between 1940 and 1959, and includes longtime gallery staples like Marina Abramović, Candida Höfer, Tehching Hsieh, Joseph Kosuth, and Anthony McCall. The second leg, unveiled Thursday and Friday, features mid-career artists like Frank Thiel, James White, and Kehinde Wiley. The final section, on display Saturday and Sunday, highlights the youngest of the gallery’s roster, including artists Hugo McCloud, Landon Metz, Sam Moyer, and Sun Xun.

Marianne Boesky’s booth is a multimedia garden of delights, featuring both historical and contemporary works whose juxtaposition encourages new aesthetic dialogues. Pieces from Sardinian artist Maria Lai’s archive are seen alongside contemporary interpretations of texture and material by artists like Donald Moffett, who also employs mixed materials and is averse to the constraints of two-dimensional picture plains.

After a successful collaboration at last year’s fair showing the work of Hans Hartung, powerhouse galleries Simon Lee and Perrotin partner up again this year for a joint presentation of new works by French abstract painter Bernard Frize. Situated in a vestibule at one end of the hall, the two galleries’ booth is spread across two floors. The Frize exhibition is contained in a small room on the lower level, while other pieces—works from Simon Lee artists like Eric N. Mack and George Condo and Perrotin artists Daniel Arsham and Claire Tabouret—are arranged throughout the large space. Frize currently has a solo show up at Simon Lee’s London space and will be the subject of a major retrospective opening at the Musée National d’art Moderne, Centre Pompidou in Paris next year.

Goodman Gallery

Goodman Gallery, based in South Africa, presents a series of works that “grapples with colonial histories,” largely featuring the work of artists from the continent and its diaspora. For instance, an installation by Grada Kilomba features a pile of soil, sugar, coffee, cocoa, and chocolate on the gallery floor—a memorial to the black laborers on plantations. Elsewhere, a new work by Yinka Shonibare MBE, titled General of Tivoli (2018), combines classical sculpture with patterned African garments to subvert the symbols of colonial power. Three of the gallery’s artists are also included in fair’s Unlimited exhibition platform—Candice Breitz, Alfredo Jaar, and Mikhael Subotzky (who presents a collaborative project with Patrick Waterhouse).

Galerie Karsten Greve returns to Basel with a lineup of works by some big names: Joel Shapiro, Giorgio Morandi, Jean Dubuffet, and Lucio Fontana, to name a few. Be sure not to miss Louise Bourgeois’s offerings—two figurative sculptures done in the early 2000s and a mysterious 1946 painting of a young woman holding a bouquet of flowers before a workbench that seems to be propped up by an owl.
