Art Basel 2022 Welcomes 289 Galleries with Expanded Criteria

Art Basel's 2022 edition in June will host 289 leading international galleries, featuring works from early 20th-century modernists to contemporary practitioners across all media. Nineteen galleries join for the first time, including two from Africa: Jahmek Contemporary Art (Luanda) and OH Gallery (Dakar). Other newcomers include Athr Gallery (Diriyah, Al-‘Ula, Jeddah), Altman Siegel (San Francisco), Galería RGR (Mexico City), Proyectos Ultravioleta (Guatemala City), Gallery Sofie Van de Velde (Antwerp), Edouard Montassut (Paris), Veda (Florence), Ceysson & Bénétière (Lyon, Paris, Saint-Etienne, Koerich, New York), Mariane Ibrahim (Paris, Chicago), Château Shatto (Los Angeles), Clearing (Brussels, Los Angeles, New York), Nicelle Beauchene Gallery (New York), Galerie Maria Bernheim (Zurich, London), Laveronica arte contemporanea (Modica), Ivan Gallery (Bucharest), Nino Mier Gallery (Brussels, Los Angeles, Marfa), and PM8 / Francisco Salas (Vigo). The fair relaxed exhibitor requirements—minimum exhibitions per year, permanent space, and years in operation—first introduced for Miami Beach 2021, now adopted across all three shows. Global Director Marc Spiegler stated the lineup is on par with previous editions yet more diverse. Art Basel Live will amplify onsite presentations via Online Viewing Rooms, virtual walkthroughs, and social media. Special sectors include Unlimited, Parcours, Film, Conversations, and a Messeplatz intervention.
