Art Basel 2026
Jun 17, 2026 · Basel
Art Basel, exhibiting art of the 20th and 21st centuries, is indisputably the world's leading fair in the international art market. It brings together top international galleries, featuring curated, modern, and contemporary art, with 2026 awards highlighting artists like Laurie Anderson, Arthur Jafa, and Barbara Kruger. Art Basel is pleased to unveil the 290 participating galleries – including 21 new joiners – and first highlights of its 2026 flagship show in Basel. This year’s edition welcomes new and returning gallery representation from Ivory Coast, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, further broadening the show’s international scope. Bringing together galleries whose programs span historical, modern, postwar, contemporary, and emerging practices, Art Basel in Basel offers a moment-in-time view of the global art world, where different generations, geographies, and artistic languages converge within a single exhibition context. Across all sectors, the 2026 edition brings art-historical depth into close proximity with recent production and emerging practice, reflecting the show’s singular capacity to present the art world in its full breadth at once. Beyond the exhibition halls, Art Basel’s flagship show will once again unfold across the city, extending into public space and leading cultural institutions, and anchoring a week of exhibitions and events throughout Basel and the wider region. www.artbasel.com/basel @artbasel
