ARTINFO was in Switzerland last week, producing daily reports about Art Basel 39, the seven satellite fairs, and countless related art world events. In case you missed our coverage, here are all the articles in a single place.

Preview
Editor's Picks: Art Basel Preview
An exclusive preview of what ten of the top galleries are selling at the fair.

Newsmakers: Annette Schönholzer and Marc Spiegler

AI Video: Hans Op de Beeck’s Midnight Hospital Tour
"The Building" is a digital animation that takes the viewer "on a virtual, nocturnal walking tour of a fictitious, megalomaniacal hospital complex."

Art Basel
Art Basel Sets Out at Orderly Sprint
There was no stampede of collectors as the fair opened to VIPs today, but business inside was instantly brisk.

Dollars? Who Needs ’Em?
Gallerists at Art Basel are too busy counting their euros to worry about the decline in U.S. buyers.

Come for the Art, Stay for the Sales
Buyers were enthusiastic at the VIP previews for Art Basel's Art Statements and Art Unlimited sections.

Satellite Fairs
Sales Swift at Liste, Weak Dollar and All
Collectors, who queued up before the VIP preview even opened, couldn't wait to get the buying started.

Medium-Voltage Volta
Attendance seems down at the satellite fair's fourth showing, but dealers appeared upbeat anyway, with some decent sales to report.

Scope Basel Ups the Ante
An ambitious fair refines its alternative ethos.

Art or Design? Why Not Both?
The third annual Design Miami/Basel fair proves design's growing appeal.

Solo Project Strikes Out on Its Own
The Solo Project is a more-than-welcome antidote to the sort of booth-blindness that can set in after a couple of hours over at Art Basel.

Bâlelatina Branches Out
The traditionally Latin American fair has let in galleries with Latin-based languages, and, oddly, the Czech Republic.

Limited Editions: Two Realities for Prints Dealers in Basel
Art Basel's Art Editions section sizzles while PrintBasel suffers from low turnout.

On the Mark
On the Mark
Art+Auction staff writer Sarah Douglas blogs from Basel.

On the Road to Nowhere
How Thomas Hirschhorn helped one writer find dignity in desperation.

Why Art Is Better Than Soccer
Having a ball in Basel.

ARTINFO Columns

From up-and-coming to blue-chip, five standout works on view in Basel this week.

Weekend Picks: Sam Keller in Basel
The former Art Basel impresario recommends the region's best art, architecture, and seasonal delicacy.

Art Parties: Art Basel Edition
60,000 people visited the Swiss city on the Rhine last week — some big name art partiers among them.

From Art+Auction
Fair Game
The struggle for inclusion in art fairs has selection committees under scrutiny.

Post Show
The Fondation Beyeler has mounted a masterful tribute to Fernand Léger that will encourage art lovers to stay in Basel beyond the fairs.
