Art Basel's official annual publication captures and documents the
exhibitions in Basel, Miami Beach, and Hong Kong, and goes beyond them,
featuring interviews, portfolios, essays about contemporary art, and
personal highlights from artists, curators, collectors and museum
directors. With its A-Z format, this year's publication, designed by
Gavillet & Cie (Geneva), maps the world of Art Basel alongside profiles
spotlighting each of the 500-plus galleries that participated across the
three fairs in 2018. Interviewees and contributors include Lara
Almarcegui, Rasheed Araeen, Andrea Bellini, Diana Campbell Betancourt,
Ryan Gander, Ingvild Goetz, Valérie Knoll, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Lubaina
Himid, Kathy Noble, Irene Panagopoulos, François Quintin, Michael
Rakowitz, Agustin Perez Rubio, Semiconductor, Suhanya Raffel, Xiaoyu
Weng, Haegue Yang, Nina Zimmer and many others whose work contributed
this year to the fairs on all three continents. Art Basel Year 49 is
the sixth volume of an innovative series of publications started in
2014, which constitutes a valuable archive of the current state and
evolution of the art world in the 2010s.
