Art Basel exhibitors will show ‘the most ambitious works’ despite economic headwinds

Art Basel will host nearly 290 galleries from around the world in Basel, Switzerland, from June 19-22, 2025. Director Maike Cruse expresses confidence in the art market's resilience despite a 12% decline in global art sales last year, citing an uptick in transactions in the middle and low market segments and a surge of new, younger collectors. The fair introduces a new section called Premiere, dedicated to ultra-contemporary works made within the past five years, featuring ten galleries and two first-time Art Basel participants. New EU tax breaks on art purchases, including Germany's VAT reduction from 19% to 7%, could boost sales for the roughly half of exhibitors based in the bloc, though the threat of US tariffs under President Donald Trump creates uncertainty.
