With the art world beginning to stage large in-person events again, Art Basel has announced the galleries that will participate in its marquee Swiss fair. The first in-person fair to be staged by Art Basel since December 2019, the fair will bring together 273 galleries from 33 different countries at the Messe Basel and will be open to the public from September 24–26, with three VIP preview days beginning September 21.
For this edition, the fair will bring together roughly the same number of galleries as it did in 2019. As with its Hong Kong fair in May, Art Basel rely on a hybrid format for the Swiss edition, which will include satellite booths operated by locals for gallerists who will not be able to travel to Switzerland for the fair because of travel restrictions.

For the 2021 edition, 24 galleries will be participating at the fair for the first time, including Hong Kong’s Edouard Malingue Gallery, Paris’s High Art, London’s Union Pacific, Pristina’s LambdaLambdaLambda, Buenos Aires’s Walden Gallery, and Cardi Gallery of Milan and London. Several New York enterprises will also be first-time participants including Bodega, Bridget Donahue, Company Gallery, Garth Greenan Gallery, Kasmin, and Queer Thoughts.
As with past editions a number of mega-galleries and blue-chip outfits will participate, including Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, Pace, David Zwirner, White Cube, Lévy Gorvy, Lisson, Thaddaeus Ropac, Gladstone Gallery, Victoria Miro, Sprüth Magers, David Kordansky, Petzel, Mitchell-Innes & Nash, Jeffrey Deitch, and Jack Shainman.
Once again, the fair will be divided into four sections: Galleries, the fair’s main section with 221 galleries; Feature for single- or duo-artist presentations from 24 galleries; Statements for 18 solo presentations of emerging artists; and Edition, which will have 10 galleries focusing in prints and editioned works. Details for the fair’s other sections Unlimited (for large-scale installations), Parcours (for site-specific works and performances around Basel), and Film will be announced at a later date.
Though Switzerland recently relaxed travel restrictions for a number of countries, there are signs that Covid numbers are once again on the rise in the country. According to the New York Times’s coronavirus tracker database, as of Monday evening, Switzerland’s daily average number of cases was 433 (or 5 per 100,000), with a daily average of 7 deaths (0.08 per 100,000). These numbers are low, but they represent a 267 percent increase over the 14 prior days. Approximately 43 percent of the Swiss population is fully vaccinated.
In a statement, Art Basel Global Director Marc Spiegler said, “While the pandemic has been a time of resilience and innovation, it has not always been one of discovery—patrons have often not been able to discover the work of new artists; likewise, galleries have not had ample opportunities to meet new collectors who can start to engage with and then later sustain their programs. That’s why it’s so important to be able to stage our show again in person, while at the same time building upon the digital innovations of the past year to continue engaging the broadest possible audiences worldwide.”
