Art Basel 2025: New Feature for Harper’s Bazaar Japan

July 08, 2025 by Hiromichi Miyagawa

A new feature on Art Basel 2025 has been published in Harper’s Bazaar Japan, authored by our co-founder.

The article offers a considered view of the current state of the international contemporary art market, as observed at this year’s Art Basel, held in Basel, Switzerland from 17 to 22 June. With over 88,000 visitors and 289 galleries from 42 countries, the 2025 edition marked the fair’s largest to date.

Highlights include Katharina Grosse’s large-scale installation at Messeplatz, the expansive Unlimited section, and the debut of the Art Basel Awards. The piece also explores significant presentations by artists such as Sagarika Sundaram, Arlene Shechet, Danh Vo, and Masanobu Tomita, whose work was shown by Tokyo-based gallery Kayokoyuki.

Beyond the main fair, the article reflects on the broader cultural vitality that takes hold of the city during Basel week — from the experimental spirit of the Basel Social Club and Vija Celmins’ quietly powerful retrospective at the Fondation Beyeler to Steve McQueen’s immersive installation at Schaulager.
