Basel's new satellite fair rides the wave of interest in contemporary African art

A new satellite art fair called Africa Basel has launched in Basel, Switzerland, founded by artist Benjamin Füglister and Photo Basel director Sven Eisenhut-Hug. The fair brings together 18 galleries, half from Africa, in a 14th-century building that once housed Dieter Roth's studio. Participants include non-commercial organizations like Ghana's Nubuke Foundation and Zambia's Modzi Arts, with prices ranging from SFr3,000 to SFr150,000. The fair aims to provide a platform for galleries specializing in contemporary African art and its diaspora to enter the global scene.
