BASEL—This year, the principal section of Art Basel — which runs from June 10 through 14 — hosts 300 dealers, including the newcomers Dvir Gallery, from Tel Aviv, and Vitamin Creative Space, of Guangzhou. Look for LED pieces by Jenny Holzer, €15,000 ($20,000) each, at Berlin and London’s Sprüth Magers, and Jim Dine’s painting Things in Their Natural Setting (First Version), 1973, among other works, at PaceWildenstein, of New York. And Art Unlimited, a vast exhibition platform for displays not suited to conventional stalls, will not disappoint. Among its highlights is the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara’s Torre de Málaga, a structure housing a re-creation of the artist’s studio, which the New York gallery Marianne Boesky is bringing.

Basel satellite Liste has 64 exhibitors, 17 of which are first-timers, including New York’s James Fuentes, which is doing a solo show of elaborately framed drawings by Alejandro Cardenas, all priced under $10,000. Volta, meanwhile, upped its gallery count from 68 to 95 with its move to vast new quarters in the Markthalle. (Design Miami Basel, formerly held there, has relocated close to Art Basel in the Messe’s Hall 5.) The 90-gallery Scope has also switched sites, to a pavilion at the Sportsplatz Landhof, and has brought with it the 20-gallery fair Art Asia. And Hot Art, once called Balelatina and devoted to Latin American work, returns with 38 exhibitors showing international art.
