Dubbed the "Olympics of the art world" by The New York Times, the Art Basel fair looks back on its long and rich tradition as one of the largest and most comprehensive overviews of modern and contemporary art in the world, a meeting point for the international art scene of artists, gallerists, collectors, curators, critics, and art lovers. In addition to a list of the leading galleries and artists the world over, this catalog features 450 illustrations of selected works from Art 33 Basel, thus giving the most comprehensive overview of what's available on the international market at the start of the 21st century.
