Anish Kapoor and Thomas Zipps works at Messeplatz, Basel

Art | 38 | Basel - Public Art Projects

On Messeplatz in front of the Art Basel fair, visitor’s can witness nine public art projects. The nine works are each very different and show a wide range of artistic techniques, interests and fabrics. From Wim Delvoye’s amazing and monumental reconstruction of a big trailer with a truck, to Tadashi Kawamata’s Tree Hut – a wood hut runned up in one of the existing flagpoles, to Paul McCarthy’s perverse Santa with Butt Plug, Mike Nelson’s exotic old bus, Elmgreen & Dragset’s flashy, melting postcard-selling kiosk, and the delicate 11-meter-high Baton by Not Vital, to the poetic and beautiful round, polished steel mirror of the sky by Anish Kapoor, the LSD-influenced work of Thomas Zipp, and finally the 1:1 funny house build by Vedavamazzei. Enjoy the pictures....
