In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Elisa Carollo, arts reporter for Observer, to recap Art Basel Switzerland 2026. Fresh from reporting in Basel, Elisa shares her perspective on a fair that reflected the broader mood of the art market: cautious, selective, but still active at the highest levels. Adam and Elisa discuss where buyers showed confidence, how the energy compared between blue-chip secondary market material and younger primary market presentations, and what sales at the fair may signal following a stronger-than-expected May auction season. They also look beyond the main fair to Liste, where younger galleries and more accessible price points offered a different view of market activity, and consider whether the growing presence of Art Basel Paris has changed the role of Basel week. The conversation also touches on standout exhibitions and presentations around the city, and what this year's fair may suggest for the rest of the 2026 art market.

Ausstellung in Grechnen: Die Arbeitsbedingungen in der Schweizer Uhrenindustrie waren im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert sehr hart. Um leistungsfähiger zu bleiben, griffen die Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter zu viel Schmerzmittel. Zum Beispiel mit zerquetschten Tabletten auf dem Ankebock.

Innerhalb von wenigen Tagen verbreitete sich das Video rasant und wurde millionenfach angesehen und geteilt. Aufgenommen wurde die Szene vom bekannten Heli-Spotter und Content Creator Pipo, der im Kantonsspital St. Gallen als Koch arbeitet. In seiner Freizeit und während der Arbeitspausen filmt er mit grosser Leidenschaft Rettungshelikopter und dokumentiert deren Einsätze auf seinen Social-Media-Kanälen. Wir lernen Pipo genauer kennen!

Die Stimmbevölkerung hat am vergangenen Sonntag zu Ja gesagt zu diesem städtischen Vorkaufsrecht. Das Ziel: So sollen mehr preisgünstige Wohnungen entstehen – in Luzern ist die Wohnungssituation wie in den meisten anderen Städten sehr angespannt.Luzern ist damit die erste Stadt der Deutschschweiz, die ein Vorkaufsrecht einführt. Wie soll das funktionieren, und was verspricht sich die Stadt davon?

Dabei sollen genau solche Teile häufiger wieder eingebaut und neu verwendet werden. Die sogenannte Kreislaufwirtschaft ist ein erklärtes Ziel der Zürcher Kantonsregierung. Zu diesem Zweck gibt es ein einen Bauteileladen. Ein Lager mit 6000 Bauteilen. Wir sind durchs Lager gewandelt und gemerkt: So einfach ist es gar nicht, mit dem Wiederverwenden.

Er findet während der Art Basel immer an einem neen Ort statt. In diesem Jahr ist er in einem leerstehenden Bürogebäude beim Bahnhof. Dieses wird während einer Woche zum Raum für Ausstellungen, Performances, Kulinarik und natürlich Kunst. Vielleicht ist der Basel Social Club DER Place to be an der Art!?
This week the art world descends on Basel, a Swiss city on the Rhine River, where the latest edition of the world's most important modern and contemporary art fair is taking place. We're talking about Art Basel, of course. Its 290 exhibitors include all the top galleries of the world. It's a place where you can see and buy museum-quality Picassos and Warhols next to still-wet-paint by emerging artists, though there's not as many of those lately. Major collectors like Don and Mera Rubell are there, and so are celebrities like Kanye West and James Franco. At the center of it all is Noah Horowitz, who has been CEO of Art Basel since 2022. Noah and senior writer, Katya Kazakina, have known each other for years, throughout which he has stood at the helm of various art fairs, starting with the first online art fair called VIP in 2010. In 2011 he became the executive director of the Armory Show in New York and remained in that role for almost four years until 2015. He then advanced to Art Basel, becoming its head of the Americas, which put him in charge of Art Basel Miami Beach, the largest contemporary art fair in the United States. In 2021 Sotheby's hired Noah to lead the gallery and private dealer services worldwide, but he stayed for just a year before returning to Art Basel triumphantly as its chief executive. Noah is also the author of the book Art of the Deal: Contemporary Art in a Global Financial Market, published in 2011. For many years, Art Basel ran three art fairs, the original one in Basel, second one in Miami Beach, and the third one in Hong Kong, but in the last couple of years it added a fourth fair in Paris, and just this year another one in Qatar, raising questions about its expansion model and sustainability. It also introduced a new platform, Zero 10, for digital art, and the Art Basel Awards. Noah and Katya discussed the changing art market, digital art, and the strain art fairs place on mid-tier galleries.

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). Son sujet de thèse porte sur les artistes femmes au Sénégal dans la période 1960-1990. En fin d'émission, la chronique Écoutez le monde, de Monica Fantini.

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.

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.

Europe braces for the economic fallout from the war in Iran as the OECD warns of a surge in prices. Plus: the impact on global aviation. Then: what we learned this week and Art Basel heads to Hong Kong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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. Ben speaks to our reporter in Australia, Elizabeth Fortescue, about the work and the wider context.Rememory: the 25th Biennale of Sydney, 14 March-14 JuneSave up to 50% on The Art Newspaper's annual print and digital package with a new limited-time offer.

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.
