The Art Basel fair may not only look back on a long and rich tradition, but it also is the largest and most important art fair in the world. It offers a comprehensive overview over 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 about 550 color illustrations reviewing the selection presented at Art 33 Basel and thus gives the most extensive overview over what is available on the international art market at the beginning of the 21st century. The catalogue provides information about the most important annual art event well in advance 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 indices of both exhibitors and artists. The weighty catalog constitutes an instructive window and indispensable reference work to recent developments in art. Art 33 Basel June 12-17, 2002
