The Art Basel fair not only looks back on a long and rich tradition, but is also the largest and most important art fair in the world. It offers a comprehensive overview of modern and contemporary art, and, at the same time, has been the annual meeting-point of the international art world, attracting artists, gallery owners, collectors, curators, critics and art lovers from all over the world. The catalog features more than 500 color illustrations reviewing the selection presented at Art 32 Basel and thus gives the most extensive survey of what is available on the international art market at the beginning of the 21st century. The catalog provides information about the most important annual art event and has become a popular collector's item. It lists 260 of the leading galleries in Europe, the United States, Asia and Australia, and more than 1000 artists represented by them. Individual entries are easy to track down by means of alphabetically arranged indexes of both exhibitors and artists. The weighty catalog constitutes an instructive window and indispensable reference work to recent developments in art.
