Tante Art Basel, ma una sola Basilea: la fiera d'arte più importante del mondo con il tempo è diventata un marchio globale con cinque piattaforme, ma la sua identità resta radicata nella storia della città d'arte renana. Basilea si trasforma ogni anno in un ecosistema che accoglie decine di migliaia di visitatori attirati da Unlimited – selezione di opere monumentali – e da Parcours – una minibiennale a cielo aperto nelle vie di Basilea – ma anche dal circuito di fiere satellite, meno formali e più festival, come il Basel Social Club. La chiave del successo di Art Basel si basa sull'alta qualità e la capacità di reinventarsi. Per capire come, abbiamo intervistato il direttore generale di Art Basel Vincenzo De Bellis a pochi giorni dall'apertura della fiera. Per la mostra della settimana saremo a Mendrisio insieme a Cristiana Coletti che ha visitato l'esposizione dedicata al lavoro del fotografo e artista visivo italiano Pino Musi. Un progetto concepito appositamente per gli spazi circolari del Teatro dell'architettura di Mendrisio.
La exposición se celebrará del 11 al 14 de junio de 2026 en Mühle Tiefenbrunnen Seefeldstrasse 233, 8008 Zúrich, Suiza), bajo la representación de Iller Gallery, dirigida por la galerista colombiana Jackie Iller. Esta participación se proyecta además como una significativa antesala de Art Basel, uno de los encuentros más influyentes del arte contemporáneo a nivel mundial.
Während die Kunstwelt sich auf die Art Basel vorbereitet, eröffnet an der Feldbergstrasse 86 ein neuer Off-Space: Das Kollektiv Rewired lädt mit Volume 01 zu einer neuntägigen Ausstellung mit queerer Kunst, Film-Screenings, Artist Talks und Begegnungsformaten ein. von Mirco Kaempf

45%, c'est la part des femmes artistes dans le monde, représentées par des galeries en 2025. Il s'agit du niveau le plus élevé jamais enregistré par Art Basel et Arts Economics dans leur dernier rapport de mars 2026. Un chiffre encourageant, mais qui reste insuffisant au regard du nombre de femmes qui abandonnent leur carrière de plasticienne alors qu'elles sont pourtant très largement représentées dans les écoles d'art. Ce fossé entre la formation et la reconnaissance interroge sur la place réelle faite aux femmes dans nos institutions. De l'Europe à l'Afrique de l'Ouest, les créatrices doivent faire face à un héritage historique occulté et à des barrières persistantes. Comment expliquer qu'un nombre important d'étudiantes diplômées se transforme en une minorité d'artistes reconnues ? Quels leviers les nouvelles générations de commissaires d'exposition et de chercheuses actionnent-elles pour transformer durablement la visibilité de ces artistes sur la scène internationale. Avec : • Anne Bourrassé, commissaire d'exposition et critique d'art, autrice du livre Les refusées (Éditions Seuil) et créatrice de l'association Contemporaines pour lutter contre les inégalités de genre dans les arts visuels • Aby Gaye-Duparc, commissaire d'exposition à la Fondation Cartier et doctorante en histoire de l'art à L'École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS).

In this episode of Bad at Sports, recorded at the tail end of a sun-soaked, sweat-drenched, and somehow still magical Miami Art Week, Duncan MacKenzie and Ryan Peter Miller sit down with curator and cultural programmer Esther Park—the force behind this year's public programming at New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA). Park traces her origin story from working the front desk at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami to throwing illegal block parties in Wynwood, to shaping NADA's ambitious "Ecologies" program. The conversation spirals (as it should) into art world mythologies, Miami as mirage, the collapse and reinvention of criticism, and why the real work happens far below the visible surface. This is a conversation about infrastructure, community, exhaustion, joy, and why—despite everything—the ecosystem still matters.

In this inspiring episode of the BLACKRAPID Podcast, host Ron Henry sits down with visual storyteller Zai (@zaitoldme) — a fine-art photographer and cinematographer whose work blends raw emotion, cultural truth, and beautiful accidents. Zai shares how he broke into the art world the old-fashioned way — with hustle. He took his photos, printed them, and walked around events like Art Basel with his work in hand. That same hustle and authenticity still defines everything he creates today. https://youtu.be/yKJUE0Fo498 He opens up about his legendary 4-month cross-country project documenting a runner, where he learned to embrace "beautiful accidents," stay flexible, and let the images speak for themselves. He also reveals his ambitious 6-year Hair Project — a sweeping body of work exploring Black American hair history from the 16th century to today. The project serves as both a living history book and a powerful call to support the Crown Act (2022 legislation that protects Black and brown people from discrimination based on their natural hair textures in schools, workplaces, and public spaces). Zai shares deeply personal stories: growing up in Texas barber shops where hair was celebrated and transformative ("leaving feeling like kings") versus being asked to cut his hair or leave environments because it "didn't fit the box America wanted to put us in." We also dive into: His early project "Black Boys Lie" (inspired by Kendrick Lamar's "Black Boy Fly") and why storytelling gives people a glimpse of hope Transitioning from film to stills and the unexpected lessons weddings taught him Documentary work, voiceover narration, and the boxing project His black-and-white photography that makes images feel rather than just look beautiful The spiritual foundation behind his art — power of attraction, frequencies, and staying connected to a higher vibration Why independent artists are thriving right now and how to own your style without copying anyone If you're a photographer, filmmaker, or creative who believes in authentic storytelling, cultural impact, and doing things your own way, this conversation will move you. Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & Zai's world lately 15:49 – The 4-month runner project & embracing beautiful accidents 21:35 – Life after the project & going with the flow 27:40 – Spirituality, frequencies & the power of attraction 29:35 – "Free, untethered comfort at ease" explained 36:45 – Ron's story: launching BLACKRAPID in 2008 during the crash 38:53 – Film work, documentaries & voiceover (boxing project) 46:58 – Lessons from wedding photography "boot camp" 52:12 – The 6-Year Hair Project & the Crown Act (powerful personal stories) 57:35 – Growing up in Texas barber shops & experiences with discrimination 1:00:56 – Following your dreams & not taking opportunities for granted 1:01:33 – "Black Boys Lie" project & Kendrick Lamar inspiration 1:03:12 – Final thoughts & Zai as a role model Watch until the end for Zai's closing wisdom.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Judd Tully, independent art journalist, to recap the major May New York auctions, where more than $2 billion worth of art was sold. While the headline numbers suggest renewed strength in the art market, Judd explains why the story is more nuanced, with the season defined by an extraordinary concentration of estates, major collections, and historically important works. Adam and Judd discuss how the sales performed overall, whether the results point to a broader market recovery or were driven by exceptional consignments, what the heavy use of guarantees reveals about confidence and risk, and what the mood of the market feels like as the art world turns to London and Art Basel.

Art Marketing Podcast: How to Sell Art Online and Generate Consistent Monthly Sales
There's one number that should end the price-on-request debate forever: artworks with visible prices sell 2-6 times more often than the same works with hidden prices. The data is in. The artists are still hiding the prices. This episode runs the gallery test on your website. A real gallery prices the work, frames it, lights it, and puts a checkout at the desk. Christie's, Sotheby's, Gagosian, 1stDibs — every serious art business does this online too. Almost no working artist does. Today we close that gap. In this episode: The gallery test — the one rule every digital decision should pass The 5 things almost every artist website gets wrong "Oooooh so mysterious" — why "contact for pricing" is the gallery with the lights off The shop is the signal: how a real storefront tells visitors they're welcome to buy Why the biggest art sellers on earth all do this — and the artists somehow don't The generational gut-punch: collectors under 40 don't tolerate hidden prices Mix the feed the way you'd mix an opening — killing the "art-only Instagram" sacred cow Why a gallery with the lights off on Wednesday loses every Wednesday walk-in The data referenced (with sources): Artsy, Dec 2019 — works with visible prices are 2-6x more likely to sell than identical hidden-price works Hiscox Online Art Trade Report 2018 — 90% of new art buyers say price transparency is a key consideration (n=831 international buyers) Art Basel and UBS 2020 Mid-Year Survey — 81% of high-net-worth collectors say it is "important or essential" to have a price posted online Artsy Art Market Trends 2025 — 69% of collectors hesitate to buy because of lack of transparency; 43% name "lack of visible price" as a top barrier; only 5% call the art market completely transparent Hiscox Online Art Trade Report 2020 — 96% of online art platforms agree price transparency is "key to building trust" (n=62 platforms) Art Basel and UBS Survey of Global Collecting 2024 — 71% of collectors under 37 bought art online in the last year Robert Read, Head of Fine Art at Hiscox (Oct 2022) — "Buyers would like more clarity around pricing" Resources mentioned: Art Storefronts — the website and storefront engine built for working artists Walk into a real gallery this weekend. Then load your website. Stand them side by side. If your site doesn't make a stranger feel welcome to buy, you have work to do. The basics in this episode are the same basics in 2055.

Craig Hepburn sits at the intersection of enterprise technology and cultural institutions. He spent years as UEFA's Chief Digital Transformation Officer, overseeing its digital ecosystem, OTT platform build, and Innovation Hub. He moved to Art Basel as CDO in 2023. He is now an independent AI strategist, Perplexity Fellow, and prolific writer on the structural implications of AI for organisations and industries. His Substack has become essential reading on the gap between AI hype and implementation reality.Hepburn's central thesis is that most people and organisations are “tourists in someone else's architecture.” He draws a sharp distinction between using AI (prompting chatbots, generating content) and building with AI (constructing proprietary systems, workflows and tools). He argues the latter is what will separate winners from losers — and that the window for making that shift is narrowing fast.Crucially, Hepburn's argument extends beyond sport. His recent writing on “The Builder and the Billion Dollar Lie” contends that entire industries — consulting, systems integration, transformation programmes — were built inside the gap between the person who understood a problem and the person who could build the solution. Agentic AI, he argues, is starting to close that gap. That has profound implications for the agency model in sport.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

In this episode of The Art Bystander, our host Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar is joined by Marc Spiegler, one of the key figures shaping the global art market over the past decade.Having led Art Basel from 2007 to 2022, he helped transform the fair from a marketplace into a global cultural platform—redefining how art is experienced, communicated, and sold. Today, Spiegler operates across a portfolio of cultural, strategic, and advisory initiatives at the intersection of art, business, and technology. He is co-founder of Art Market Minds, including the course AI & The Art Market, which explores how AI is beginning to reshape structures, behaviours, and opportunities across the industry. Alongside this, Spiegler is a Visiting Professor at Bocconi University, where he teaches cultural management and the impact of artificial intelligence on the art world, and serves as President of the Board of Directors of Superblue, as well as Chairman of the Advisory Board of the future UBS Digital Art Museum. Spiegler collaborates with the Luma Foundation, sits on the boards of the ArtTech Foundation and Art Explora Foundation, and advises companies including Prada Group, KEF, and Sanlorenzo on cultural strategy.In this conversation, we trace that full arc—from journalism to Art Basel to AMM—and what it reveals about the structural shifts shaping the art world today.Also mentioned in the episode New York Real Estate and the Ruin of American Art and Will AI Slop and Deep Fakes Kill Culture.Sign up to join AI & THE ART MARKETArtificial intelligence is rapidly redefining many industries. While there are parts of the Art Market to which it may never apply, it would be foolish to think that our industry won't be strongly impacted.

In this episode, I take a closer look at the latest report — not just through the data, but through the conversations it triggered. After sharing several insights on LinkedIn, the response from artists, collectors and gallerists revealed a more complex picture of the art market today.While the report shows modest global growth, much of that momentum is concentrated at the very top. At the same time, discussions around auctions, the role of galleries, and especially gender dynamics highlight a growing gap between market data and lived experience.From improving representation of women artists in the primary market to persistent inequalities at the highest price levels, this episode explores what the numbers show — and what they don't.Drawing on both the report and real-world perspectives from the field, this is a reflection on a market that is not uniform, but layered — shaped by history at the top, and by change and experimentation further down.And yes — this episode is AI-voiced, so if the delivery sounds almost suspiciously composed, now you know why.

As the war in the Middle East continues to rage, Ben Luke speaks to The Art Newspaper's reporter on Iran and other countries in the region, Sarvy Geranpayeh, about the response of cultural communities in Iran and Lebanon, and the damage to heritage in both countries. The latest edition of the Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report has been published and shows that the market has returned to growth. But the details show a more complicated story, which Ben explores with the writer of the report, Clare McAndrew. And this episode's Work of the Week is VOLUME (III – White Bay Power Station, Australia) a new work by the Indigenous American artist Cannupa Hanska Luger. This sculpture and sound installation featuring seven ceramic dingo skulls is part of the latest edition of the Sydney Biennale in Australia, and has gained an unintended topicality due to a recent tragedy involving the death of a backpacker in Queensland.

Send a textA shy compliment at Art Basel turned into a passport to the world. We sit down with Miami native and freelance writer Amber Love Bond to unpack how she left corporate finance and built a career that spotlights chefs, bartenders and destinations through stories with heart. From the early days covering Miami's cocktail scene to filing features from Hong Kong, New Orleans and the Caribbean, Amber shows how curiosity, consistency and relationships can take you farther than a perfect plan.We dig into the rituals that make bars and restaurants feel alive—glassware choices, ice and the people behind the stick—and why a strong sense of place is the secret ingredient in travel writing. Amber explains how she evaluates hosted trips, the subtle red flags that can surface only after planning starts, and the simple test she uses when her inbox fills with invites. She also shares straight-talk advice for PR pros: personalized pitches win, strong relationships matter and once a freelancer files, publication timing is out of their hands.Trend-watchers will find plenty to savor. We explore why early dinners now top reservation charts, how Gen Z is reshaping drink menus, and the rise of martini flights and “tiny teenies.” Amber makes a case for New Orleans as a must-visit food and cocktail city and relives a Tuscan feast with the world's most famous butcher that still lingers in memory. Along the way, she offers practical guidance for breaking into food, drink and travel writing without a journalism degree—be kind, answer emails and invest in the relationships that become your career's backbone.If you love food journalism, cocktail culture or travel stories that feel lived-in and local, this conversation is for you.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong, ahead of the fair's 2026 edition opening on March 25. After a period of rapid growth during and immediately following the pandemic, the Chinese art market began to soften in 2021 alongside broader economic challenges. As the region prepares for its most important art market event of the year, Adam and Angelle discuss the current state of the market in China, whether signs of renewed confidence are emerging, and how Art Basel Hong Kong fits within an increasingly competitive landscape of art fairs across Asia. They also preview what to expect at this year's fair, including how galleries are feeling heading into the week, notable presentations to watch, and the Asia debut of Art Basel's digital art initiative, Zero 10.
New York Fashion Week isn't dead, but it is changing. In this solo NYFW recap, Victoria breaks down what felt different this season and how Fashion Week is getting too expensive. From major brands like Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs showing off-schedule, Thom Browne showing in San Francisco, brands giving away show tickets leading to how NYFW could be evolving into an “Art Basel”-style citywide experience. She also shares the fashion tech + retail innovation that caught her eye, the behind-the-scenes realities of how outfits (and glam) actually happen during Fashion Week, and the pop-ups + community events that proved NYFW is increasingly about access, culture, and connection not just runway invites.Follow Fashion & Founders:Podcast IG: @fashionandfoundersPodcast Substack: Fashion and FoundersPodcast Website: fashionandfounders.comPodcast TikTok: @fashionandfoundersPodcast LinkedIn: Fashion and FoundersPodcast YouTube: Fashion and FoundersPodcast Links: Shop MyGlamsquad:Code: FASHIONANDFOUNDERS for $20 offRent the Runway:Code: RTRXVSMITH50and get 50% off your first month!Rebecca Minkoff episode on fashion week being to expensiveHEREThanks for listening!

In this episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, I sit down with Sydnie Banks — a one-of-one luxury handbag artist whose work has been featured at New York Fashion Week and Art Basel.We talk about her path into craftsmanship, starting with custom cowboy boots, and what it really looks like to commit to a craft for over a decade with no guarantees. Sydnie shares how growing up around creativity shaped her mindset, why being “all in” mattered early, and what it took to bet on herself again after loss, setbacks, and years of uncertainty.We get into the discipline behind making six-month pieces by hand, the mental overlap between artists and athletes, why becoming the best mattered more than selling fast, and what people don't see behind the finished product.This conversation is about patience, belief, and staying locked into your path — even when nobody's watching.Follow Sydnie: @SydnieBanks Follow Obi: @obiemeganoMake sure to follow us.

Nicholas DiLeonardi (Gitler&_____) Recorded in Miami during art fair week Nicholas DiLeonardi joins Bad at Sports from the middle of Miami art fair week, not from a booth but from the pavement between them. Assistant Director and consultant at Gitler&_____, DiLeonardi spends the week moving between fairs, collectors, hammocks, robot dogs, and banana sightings, offering a ground-level view of what art fairs actually feel like when you are advising clients rather than selling from behind a wall. The conversation moves fluidly from ranking fairs to questioning the psychic cost of sitting in a booth, from the pleasures of approachable painting to skepticism about over-packaged meaning. DiLeonardi talks candidly about advising as a practice, collecting as a responsibility, and why sometimes the best work is the work that does not want to explain itself. Along the way, the group unpacks the strange theater of Art Basel, the social logic of NADA, the pleasures and limits of Untitled, and what it means to keep showing up to a system that is both exhausting and irresistible. The episode also dives into Gitler&____'s public-facing projects, including the long-running Audubon Mural Project, and the blurred line between consultancy, gallery work, and artist support. It is a conversation about taste, access, labor, exhaustion, and the odd hope that keeps people flying back to Miami year after year. Recorded live, with roosters, bridges, hammocks, and just enough art world self-awareness to stay funny.

In this week's week on the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Margaret Carrigan, News Editor at Artnet News, to unpack the inaugural edition of Art Basel Qatar. Drawing on her reporting, Margaret discusses why a Middle East fair makes strategic sense for Art Basel at this moment, how galleries and insiders approached the week with a mix of excitement and uncertainty, and what it actually felt like to experience a smaller, more curated fair format without traditional booths. The conversation explores whether the fair's structure allowed for deeper engagement with artists, how sales ultimately played out, and the role of Qatari institutions as buyers. Stepping back, the episode considers the bigger takeaway from this first edition and whether Art Basel Qatar feels like an immediate success or a fair that will need time to develop and find its footing.
The first Art Basel Qatar art fair is now open in Qatar's capital, Doha, and The Art Newspaper's art market editor, Kabir Jhala, joins Ben Luke to discuss its impact, as well as reflecting on the wider artistic outlook in Qatar and the Middle East. The author of a new catalogue raisonné of the work of Albrecht Dürer argues that a painting of the artist's father in the National Gallery in London, long thought to be a copy after Dürer's original, is in fact an autograph work. Our special correspondent in London, Martin Bailey, tells us about the arguments for and against its authenticity. And this episode's Work of the Week is actually a pair of works. That is because there is a compelling double header opening at the Albertinum in Dresden this weekend, the exhibition Paula Modersohn-Becker and Edvard Munch: The Big Questions of Life. The exhibition's co-curator Andreas Dehmer discusses Selbstbildnis mit Hand am Kinn or Self-Portrait with Hand on Chin (1906) by Modersohn-Becker and Vampir or Vampire (1895) by Munch with our digital editor, Alexander Morrison.Art Basel Qatar continues until Saturday, 7 February.Christof Metzger, Albrecht Dürer: The Complete Paintings.

What happens when you stop obsessively planning and trying to control the outcome in the studio and start letting your subconscious lead the way? In this episode of the Create! Podcast, host Ekaterina Popova chats with August Vilella, a self-taught artist whose intuitive approach has landed his work in Art Basel and major galleries across Asia and Europe. August reveals how he abandoned sketches and rigid concepts to find a "direct language" that transcends cultural and language barriers. We explore his "happy accident" move to Japan, his upcoming 10th-anniversary chronological exhibition, and why he believes the best career investment you can make is simply showing up in person. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Intuitive Method: Why August starts with a completely white canvas and no prior ideas or sketches to allow the subconscious and past experiences to take a leading role. The Self-Taught Advantage: How skipping art school allowed August to find his own unique style and "signature" before being influenced by a teacher's perspective. Building a Career from Zero: The story of how a two-week trip for a show in 2020 turned into a five-year Japanese residency after a flight was cancelled during the pandemic. Being Your Own "Bad Boss": The discipline required to be strict with gallery deadlines while maintaining a meditative, improvisational creative process. The "Lottery" of Opportunities: Why traveling to openings and art fairs is essential for letting collectors and directors see your energy and story, not just the final work. Milestone Exhibitions: A look at his massive 500-square-meter 10th-anniversary show in Shenzhen and upcoming solo exhibitions in Tokyo and Ginza. Key Quotes: "All my past experience have some deep impact in my painting... my subconscious mind have a very important role in the creative process." — August Vilella "The best way to make an interesting career is to travel, to meet people, to talk with people... they not only see your work, they also see your energy." — August Vilella Connect with the Guest: Instagram: www.instagram.com/august_vilella_art/ Website: augustvilella.com About the Host: Ekaterina Popova is an artist and the founder of Create!

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Tim Schneider, founder of The Gray Market. The conversation looks back at how Tim's 2025 art market predictions played out before turning to his newly released forecasts for 2026, including the persistence of what Tim calls “art market dysmorphia” as galleries simultaneously expand and contract, and why auction houses may generate far more revenue from categories like wine and spirits than from young contemporary art. Adam and Tim also discuss whether brands like Frieze or Art Basel could extend beyond the fair model into other sectors, as well as the growing possibility of US museums financially guaranteeing works at auction. The episode concludes with Adam and Tim each sharing a special ArtTactic Podcast exclusive prediction for the art market in 2026.
At the top of 2025, the outlook for the art industry was pretty bleak, and people's worst fears were, in some cases, more than realized. By now, if you're paying any attention to the movements in the art market you have been hearing the drumbeat of bad news: Galleries shuttering, a lot of the buying energy drying up, some fairs shriking operations, and the secondary market stuttering. But the picture is, as usual, quite nuanced depending on how you look at it. There were some upsides to the slowdown in the hype and the speculation gamification of art seems to be over, which some people say is not the worst thing. Things seemed to turn a corner in the closing months of 2025, which included a successful fall New York auction week and a stronger-than-expected edition of Art Basel Miami Beach. Following two years of a down market and declining sales, the world's two leading auction houses Christie's and Sotheby's reported at the close of the year, upticks in total projected revenue for 2025. So is the wind back in the sails? After years of downturn, has the art market changed in permanent ways? What major shifts can we expect in 2026? Senior editor Kate Brown is joined by Marc Spiegler to consider these questions. For those who don't already know, Spiegler led Art Basel from 2007 to 2022, and the brand saw a major expansion under his tenure. Currently, he works on a portfolio of cultural strategy projects with major foundations, private corporation and projects in the immersive digital and experiential. Spiegler has long been a Visiting Professor in cultural management at Università Bocconi in Milan and launched the Art Market Minds Academy, which just announced its Cultural Catalyst Project.

We discuss the Art Basel Awards which BOSS have been partnering with.The BOSS AWARD for Outstanding Achievement was presented at Art Basel Miami Beach to Meriam Bennani for her work entitled “For My Best Family.”The BOSS AWARD for Outstanding Achievement celebrates work that embodies the BOSS values of boldness, personal authenticity, ambition, and responsibility. It honors a singular work, produced within the last 18 months, that has catalyzed change at the intersection of art, technological innovation, social dialogue, and identity. Moroccan-born and New York-based, Meriam Bennani uses a broad range of artistic mediums that include video, sound, animation, sculpture as well as large-scale installations, among others. She's known for mixing humor, pop-cultural aesthetics and digital language in her storytelling to create immersive, playful yet critical pieces that resonate with the viewer. The BOSS AWARD for Outstanding Achievement has a prize of US$100,000 and empowers the awardee to amplify voices beyond their own, allowing them to allocate a reward of US$50,000 to a community or cause of the artist's choosing. The remaining US$50,000 will be invested in a project, commission, or cultural activation by the artist that will be co-developed with BOSS.Introduced earlier this year in May, the Art Basel Awards recognized 36 Medalists across nine categories within the contemporary art world. These categories included iconic, established, and emerging artists, as well as cross-disciplinary creators, curators, institutions, patrons, media and storytellers, and allies shaping the future of cutting-edge artistry. Through a peer-driven process, the Medalists then selected 12 Gold Medalists from among their ranks, who were honored with the highest distinction at last night's ceremony.BOSS has supported art for 30 years and is known for timeless and sophisticated style, and commitment to culture, sport and sustainability, underpinned by technical innovations developed over its century-long history.
