Basel June 19 and 22, 2025
In Basel.
The festival, one of the main events of the international art market, presents works of modern and contemporary art in over 280 leading galleries proven in the world.
The summer sun illuminates the beautiful landscapes of Switzerland.
While I was walking through these landscapes with pleasure, I was thinking about how long our journey to Basel would take us.
What passages, from beauty to beauty, from Lugano to Luzerno.
Indeed, it seems to me, as they say, a beautiful dream with open eyes.
How beautifully the hand of man has worked together with the generosity of nature and in this way, in this place, they have built a true paradise.
My thought goes far.
Being amazed by these beauties, which impress me and that with my words I cannot describe them properly.
And what an opportunity and art exists, for every person and every nation, if this valuable experience in the transformation of the environment which resembles heaven on earth, here in Switzerland. That they can use it, and that everyone can practice it in their own place, in the care and protection of nature and at the same time for the benefit of their health.
Arrival in Basel
After a five-hour journey,
we arrive in Basel.
And here is the Rhine River, not only offering us amazing beauty but a memory and journey with the old European history.
In the beautiful and ancient Basel.
An indescribable pleasure for this place,.
And not only for its beauties, but also for the fact that Basel welcomes us with open arms and envelops us with the warmth of the most beautiful and important activities not only for Switzerland but also for the whole of Europe.
Before us lies majestic and all dressed in red, the square in front of the building, where the song festival - Eurovision 2025 took place
The square in front of the Basel fair is in fact the most magnificent platform that can be offered to art at Art Basel.
And who can use it better than the internationally renowned painter, who has repeatedly freed herself from the limitations of the classical canvas to claim entire spaces as a canvas for her colorful excesses?
Now Katharina Grosse has transformed the fairground into a large painting.
In doing so, she included the entire square, including the fountain and the surrounding architecture, in her work.
The German painter has long been considered a star.
And she is practically destined for this great commission, which is given to an artist every year for the days of the Art Basel fair.
The Swiss press writes about her and her fame has already spread throughout Europe and the whole world.
Switzerland is ahead in all arts.
It constantly organizes exhibitions to help talents, in supporting and encouraging them as well as displaying the products of the hands of the youngest, the oldest and the most famous artists.
Truly a model to be taken as an example by all European countries and why not the world.
An excellent job in giving the right value to those works that really have value.
The first day
Crowds of people flowed like a river in front of the festival building.
Others climbed the stairs to the palace of culture, where the exhibition titled Arte-Basel had opened.
An exhibition service employee greeted us in Italian and with her warmth and talented hospitality, offered us all the necessary information about ARTE-BASEL 2025.
Second day in Basel
Already amazed by the exhibited works.
We move from one pavilion to another. We take photos.
Thousands of square meters have been made available for the exhibition of works by great artists, as well as ample space for the many visitors.
A special commitment and interest from the employees of the municipality of Basel.
They follow every activity, every detail of this exhibition, in help and support of the exhibition employees as well as the artists themselves.
Everything in order and with correctness.
"We like this," said one of the employees, because with the same dedication these beautiful works of art were created, which are exhibited in all the exhibition pavilions.
Values should be protected only with values.
Works that amaze with their beauty and the messages they carry for the culture and life of people everywhere in the world.
We will see and hear each other in the other visits made by our side, in the following days, in these artistic activities, developed in Switzerland and their importance and values for Europe and the World.
