Art Basel is one of the largest art fairs and attracts the entire art ecosystem: art galleries, artists, collectors, and art lovers from around the world! It presents more than 200 galleries and more than 4,000 artists from the five continents.
Many high-quality exhibitions take place during this week in Basel and its surroundings, making it an epicenter of the art world in the region.
The study trip to Basel during this week in June was organized for our MBA in Arts & Cultural Management students with professors Lassla Esquivel, Audrey Illuoz, and Maria Brazina.
The students discovered the Unlimited section dedicated to installations at Art Basel on their first visit, then explored the new Kabinett section and the rest of the fair on the other days.
The trip also included visits to major contemporary art institutions such as the Fondation Beyeler and the Kunsthalle Basel to see the current exhibitions.
