Art Basel VIP Days 2025
Art Basel is the most revered of all international art fairs. At Art Basel and throughout the city you’ll see museum-worthy artworks on the market, monumental installations, and awe-inspiring architecture. Those with invites can enter from Monday, 16 June with access to the Unlimited section of the fair, where this itinerary will start. The three day itinerary will last until Wednesday when the vernissage of the main fair takes place.
The well-heeled of the art world gather during Basel’s most delightful season, swimmers brave the glittering waters of the Rhine while the city comes to life around it. Basel is renowned for discerning collections of art, housed in spectacular architecture, connected via an efficient tram system which crosses quaint bridges.
Highlights across the tours will include Unlimited, a section of the main fair which presents monumental museum-standard artworks, a visit to Steve McQueen’s major exhibition at the Schaulager, an impressive collection housed in impressive Herzog & de Meuron architecture, and a chance to explore the exhibitions and exquisite grounds of Foundation Beyeler.
