This year, VOLTA Basel celebrates its 15th anniversary with an amazing international art fair that runs in Basel, Switzerland from June 10 to June 15. The event is held in the former COOP distribution center that is currently one of the most popular cultural hubs in Basel. At Fine Art Shippers, we are incredibly happy to be there, helping exhibitors and visitors of this renowned show with art handling, installation, and logistics.
After the cancelation of VOLTA New York due to technical reasons this past March, VOLTA Basel is back with its 15th anniversary fair to celebrate contemporary art and creativity. Noted for being a “space for discovery,” VOLTA brings together the best galleries and most talented artists from around the world, offering dynamic and eclectic presentations with a strong focus on solo and dual-artist projects. Overall, this year’s edition of VOLTA Basel, which runs alongside Art Basel and Liste Art Fair, assembles 79 art galleries across four continents to showcase new art by young and emerging artists working in different styles and mediums. There are many art highlights at VOLTA Basel 2019, but we would like to draw your attention to the following art pieces presented at the show.
