The most influential global art exhibition
If you are working towards cultivating a reputation on the global art scene, there’s one event you can’t afford to miss in your calendar – Art Basel. The trade show has risen to the status of an institution in a relatively short time span. As a result, it has been successfully transplanted in the USA with a satellite event in Miami, Florida, and another one in Asia with Hong Kong as the host city.
Art Basel 2025
Art Basel 2025 will take place at Messe Basel in June. The dates span the period between 19.06.2025 and 22.06.2025.

- Over 4000 artists represented;
- Nearly 300 galleries exhibited;
- 95,000 visitors among which 40,000 were international;
- Gallerists, curators, collectors, architects, art lawyers and critics attend.
This international trade fair has been celebrating art and antiques from the 20th and 21st century since 1970 every year in June in Basel, Switzerland. Editions are put together by the MCH Messe Schweiz (Basel) AG and last for a total of four days. Messe Basel opens doors to visitors from 11:00 in the morning until 07:00 in the afternoon with the fourth day being the exception, where closing time is scheduled one hour earlier.
You are able to make acquaintances with artists, art collectors and curators in the thousands. There’s no single medium valued more than any other and the halls brim with paintings, drawings, sculpture, prints, photography, installations, video and digital art. Whenever Art Basel is in town, Basel completely transforms and much of the programming spills out in neighboring areas like the Parcours neighborhood. Part of the success and affluence comes from the exceptional lineup of galleries from around the world – almost 300 as of last edition.
Art Basel 2021
The 2021 edition of Art Basel was among the first international art exhibitions to occur since the onset of the pandemic. It took place as a hybrid event from September 24, 2021, to September 26, 2021. Art Basel 2021 consisted of a face-to-face exhibition and the digital platform Art Basel Live. The digital platform allowed participating galleries to reach a larger audience and visitors to take part remotely. Virtual tours and online showrooms were part of the platform. The face-to-face exhibition included strict COVID-19 precautions such as social distancing and took place in Messe Basel. The edition was considered a success due to high participation numbers and strong sales across all levels of the market. A total of 60,000 visitors participated in the fair, alongside 272 galleries from 33 countries. The exhibitors included 24 newcomer galleries from cities such as London, Hong Kong and others.
Art Basel 2022
Art Basel 2022 also occurred as a hybrid event. The edition, held between 16.06.2022 and 19.06.2022, consisted of the digital platform Art Basel Live and a face-to-face art fair in Messe Basel. The venue that hosted the live aspect of the event did not feature strict Covid-19 safety protocols due to the country removing its restrictions in April 2022. The overall attendance of Art Basel 2022 reached 70,000 attendees, which included 270 returning exhibitors, 19 newcomer ones, 46 speakers and over 300 museums and institutions.
