Art Unlimited

Art Unlimited is a special section of Art Basel. Art Unlimited offers artists and galleries a platform for works that are beyond the scope of exhibition booths at art fairs, and frequently even of galleries, museums, and other traditional exhibition venues. This means: outsize sculptures, video projections, installations, wall paintings, photographic series, and performance art. Out of over 200 applications submitted, the Art Basel Committee had this year chosen 70 projects for «Art Unlimited». The whole thing was launched in the 12,000 square meters of Hall 1. Artists from 26 countries took part this year - counting both established artists like Joseph Kosuth and Barbara Kruger and younger and less established artists.
The show presented truly outstanding works of a quality that is in fact “unlimited”. Kopenhagen brings you a photographic tour of the show...

One of several bookstores at Art Basel, this one at the entrance to Art Unlimited. The hype at the fair was Collecting Contemporary by Taschen Verlag (edited by Adam Lindemann), which was totally sold-out on the second day. www.taschen.de/pages/en/catalogue/books/art/new/facts/03892.htm
