For example, one sector may have a focus on monumental art, while another sector might focus on solo presentations by emerging artists.
Galleries
The heart of Art Basel is the show’s main sector - Galleries. This is where art galleries from all over the world exhibit their favorite works. While strolling through Galleries, you will experience works from both up-and-coming talents to 20th-century masters. View the full list of 2024 participating galleries from North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Meridians
This sector is for LARGE projects. Not something you normally see at a small art exhibition, these projects literally push the boundaries. View the full list of 2024 Meridians Exhibitors.
Survey
The Survey Sector is dedicated to galleries exhibiting the artistic practices of historical relevance.
Kabinett
Some galleries display separate collections as part of the Kabinett Sector. The Kabinett Sector of Art Basel displays thematic group exhibitions, art-historical showcases, and solo presentations.
Nova
If you are interested in viewing modern works created within the past three years (by one, two, or three artists), don’t miss the Nova Sector.
Positions
Part of the beauty of Art Basel is the sheer variety of galleries present. It is easy to spend your time in the established galleries, but it is also well worth visiting the young galleries. The Positions Sector showcases young galleries exhibiting solo presentations by emerging artists.
Conversations
