  Art Basel stages the world’s premier Modern and contemporary art shows, held annually in Basel, Miami Beach, and Hong Kong. Founded by gallerists in 1970, Art Basel has been a driving force in supporting the role that galleries play in the nurturing of artists, and the development and promotion of visual arts.

  Seven show sectors offer a diverse collection of artworks, including pieces by established artists and newly emerging artists, curated projects, site-specific experiential work, and video. Art Basel is strongly rooted in the principle that galleries play an essential role in the development and promotion of visual arts, and its sectors are thus carefully defined to provide opportunities for visitors to see many types of exhibitions.
