The new Art Feature sector at Art 41 Basel focuses on the curatorial aspects of the gallerist’s practice. It will be located alongside the Art Galleries sector on both floors of Hall 2 and presents 20 projects. With over 200 applications to choose from, the Art Basel Committee and the sector’s experts selected 20 participating galleries from 12 countries on four continents. The projects chosen promise exciting, unexpected, and provocative dialogues and juxtapositions, as well as solo presentations featuring works by artists representing different cultural backgrounds, generations, and artistic approaches.
