Whitehot Magazine
"The Best Art In The World"
By PAUL LASTER, Jun. 2017
Presenting 291 galleries from 35 countries and six continents, the 48th edition of Art Basel offers artworks in a wide variety of media by an international mix of modern and contemporary artists. Perusing the fair, we’ve chosen 25 works that we want to add to our collection—ranging from paintings by Francis Picabia, Frank Stella and Neo Rauch to sculptures by Mark Manders and Erwin Wurm and photographs by Richard Avedon, Joan Jonas and Richard Prince.
