The Naked and the Nude
The unclothed male figure is having a resurgence at Art Basel this year. But as in Robert Graves’s famous poem, some of those depicted are merely naked, while others are slyly, or even brazenly, nude.

Look Out for Latin
The recent buzz about contemporary Latin artists continues at Art Basel, where work from stars such as Bedia, Kuitca, and Gerzso is joined by contributions from artists who are well known at home but relatively obscure internationally.

At Art Basel: Paintings That Move
The videos at this year’s fair tend to move toward the painterly, featuring high production values, careful compositions, and a stillness uncommon in a time-based medium.
