A Cocktail of Art in Basel
nternational contemporary art collectors will gather in Switzerland next week for an annual shopping spree.
Art Basel, the leading global fair for 20th- and 21st-century art, opens its doors to the general public Thursday until Sunday after a series of invitation-only viewings.
Some 65,000 collectors, museum curators, artists, dealers and other aficionados from around the world visited the event last year.
"Basel is small, but for a few days, it is the capital of the art world," says Helsinki dealer Ilona Anhava of Galerie Anhava.
She ticks off a number of factors that have made Art Basel a powerful global player since its foundation by a small group of Swiss dealers in 1970. These include the "super high quality of the art" and the presence of "all the important elephant galleries of the art market," while still retaining a feeling that "you have an opportunity to discover new things."
