Art Basel 2025 opened in Basel with VIP previews, featuring a mix of high-priced works like Félix González-Torres's $16 million performance piece and Yu Nishimura's fresh-to-market triptych at €375,000. The fair adapts to a shifting market with lower price points, faster decisions, and new sectors like Premiere for ultra-contemporary art, alongside global expansion including a new fair in Doha. Satellite events like Liste and the Basel Social Club offer alternative experiences, while curated booths, such as Gagosian's 30th-anniversary presentation, blend curatorial idealism with the fair format.

The commercial market for performance art is undergoing a significant shift in value and sophistication. While performance has been sellable for decades through archival editions and documentation—a model pioneered by figures like Marina Abramović and dealer Sean Kelly—newer methods include oral contracts for 'live' works and high-stakes secondary market sales. Recent examples, such as Hauser & Wirth offering a Felix Gonzalez-Torres performance piece with an eight-figure price tag, signal that the medium is moving from a niche interest into a high-value asset class.

Art Basel gets go-going at Hauser & Wirth’s stand

At Art Basel's Unlimited section, Hauser & Wirth is presenting Felix Gonzalez-Torres's 1991 performance work "Untitled" (Go-Go Dancing Platform), in which a local go-go dancer performs a silent disco atop a small lit stage for five minutes at unspecified times. The piece, created shortly after the deaths of the artist's partner and father, explores themes of renewal, rebirth, and masculinity, according to Hauser & Wirth partner Cristopher Canizares.
