I’ve never been to the Basel Art Fair before. It’s mildly overwhelming having the whole of the contemporary art world packed into a large Swiss warehouse, gallery after gallery stretching out into the infinite distance. What have I liked ? Pablo Bronstein in Franco Noero, a gallery from Turin. Quite a few Sean Scullys. Some wonderful Christos. New work by Grayson Perry shown by Paragon Press. I particularly enjoyed the showing of large works in the adjacent space under the title Unlimited including work by Ai Weiwei called Stacked (2012):-
And a poignant work by Kader Attia called Arab Spring (2014):-


ou sont les neiges d’antan….
