why.
photography has established itself within museums and the art market within the last decade. During Art Basel week, we want to enhance and nourish the creative trade of all the major art players within and around photography.
“Art lovers wilting under the weight of commerce grinding through the behemoth fairs should head to this compact alternative for lighter, more subtle encounters”
“Photo Basel, now in its fourth year, wants to offer something different: a boutique fair of vintage and fine-art photography, and photography-based art.”
the fair
photo basel strives to include and combine galleries that are young as well as those that are renowned, Swiss exhibitors as well as international ones, those with a bold contemporary program as well as others with strong historic positions. The fair aims to provide its visitors and collectors with the ultimate chance to connect with galleries whose respective exhibition programs demonstrate a strong predilection for translating the DNA of momentous photographic practices, historic and contemporary, as well as a gift for revealing talents, from emerging or previously overlooked to underrated or established.
“The secret to photo basel’s success?
The fair has a boutique feel and focused content, bringing together some of the best works in fine-art photography”
“...the upcoming photo basel event in Switzerland, one of the most exciting events in the photographic calendar”
“Ebenfalls parallel zur Art Basel fand im Volkshaus die eher kleine, aber feine internationale Fotokunstmesse “photo basel” statt..”
