Basel Art Fair (1)

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):-
