The ART BASEL is considered one of the most prestigious and influential art fairs in the world and plays a central role in the international art market as well as in art theory discourse. It was founded in 1970 by Basel gallery owners ERNST BEYERLE, TRUDL BRUCKNER and BALZ HILT with the aim of establishing a fair of the highest quality that would clearly distinguish itself from purely commercial events. Since then, it has been held annually in Basel and has continuously developed into a global benchmark for modern and contemporary art. Every year the venue brings together several hundred selected galleries from over 40 countries showcasing their works.
