Antony Gormley will join Ann Demeester, director of Kunsthaus Zürich, for a conversation at Art Basel in Basel on June 19, 2026, from 4–5pm. The discussion coincides with Gormley's sculptural installation 'Here and Now' at Art Basel Unlimited and will cover his decades-long focus on the human body in sculpture, as well as his recent exhibitions 'Geestgrond' at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp and 'What Holds Us' at Galleria Continua in San Gimignano.
This event matters because it brings together one of the most influential living sculptors with a leading museum director, offering insight into Gormley's ongoing exploration of the body and space. The conversation is part of the Art Basel Conversations series, which provides free public access to high-level art-world dialogue, reinforcing Art Basel's role as a platform for critical exchange beyond the commercial fair.
