Basel, Switzerland 22 May 2024 – Liste Art Fair, Basel announces the 29 edition of the pioneering art fair that aims to champion emerging galleries and outstanding artists while showcasing a younger generation who represent the latest developments and trends in contemporary art.
This year the celebrated art fair that opened its doors for the first time in 1996, will showcase 91 galleries from 35 countries around the globe. There will be 75 solo and 16 group presentations exhibited alongside 5 joint booths resulting in more than 100 differing cultural voices being amplified to an international audience during the fair. Liste is unique in that it is the only art fair where two thirds of the galleries are showing a single artist exhibition resulting in the curating of, over 70 solo exhibitions cementing its position as a pioneering champion of contemporary artists and the art sector.
The galleries planned presentations manifest clearly...that in the current art landscape there is a pertinent tendency to explore the complex relationship between humans and the environment demonstrating the sense of urgency to highlight ecological, social and political issues while another key theme resonating with artists includes a reflection on time, memory and transience. Visitors at Liste 2024 will engage with artists who use their practice to explore the ephemeral nature of the human experience and the inevitable confrontation with morality and loss.
Peter Bläuer, Co-Founder, Liste Art Fair, Basel, has managed Liste for 23 years and led it to its great success. This year he has stepped in as artistic director on an interim basis and commented: “Almost every young gallery still applies to Liste and wants to be part of this important platform in Basel. This year, we are once again able to present the most promising new galleries and their artists to an international audience of experts. It makes me very happy to once again work with Stiftung Liste Basel on this important task of helping to promote a future generation of galleries. What could be better than supporting and helping? So, dear experts! take a good look! There is a lot to discover again this year.”
Reto Nussbaum, Commercial Director, Liste Art Fair, Basel 2024, commented: “We took our core task, which is to find the most exciting up-and-coming galleries, very seriously once again this year. With great joy and endless thanks to my team and my co-director Peter, we are looking forward to a fantastic 2024 edition.” This year Liste will host 23 new galleries who will be exhibiting at Liste for the first time, including Coulisse from Stockholm; Cylinder and P21 from Seoul; Gauli Zitter from Brussels; Longtermhandstand from Budapest; murmurs from Los Angeles; Rele from Lagos; Silke Lindner from New York; sissi club from Marseille; Yutaka Kikutake from Tokyo; and a.

A lasting tradition of Liste will also be resumed with daily performances by cuttingedge artists. Special project “Mythic Beings” curated by Elisa Lammer considers some utopias’ blueprints of antinormative potentials. For the 20 time the The Helvetia Art Prize will be presented with a solo show. As every year, the HEK (House of Electronic Arts) presents the latest media art. Additionally, Berlin’s “do you read me?” curates Liste’s first ever bookstore.

About Liste
Since 2021, Liste has consisted of three formats: Liste Art Fair Basel, Liste Showtime Online and Liste Expedition Online.
Founded in 1996, Liste Art Fair Basel is the international fair for discoveries in contemporary art. Every year in Basel, a younger generation of galleries showcases outstanding artists who represent the latest developments and trends in contemporary art. It’s hard to find a gallery founded after 1996 that belongs to the top 10 today whose start in the international market did not begin at Liste.
Since 2022, Liste has been owned by the Stiftung Liste Basel. As a non-profit organization, the foundation is committed to primarily supporting young, new galleries and aiding the development of a mid-level of galleries. Liste Showtime Online, the digital art fair launched by Liste in 2020, offers galleries from Liste Art Fair Basel the opportunity to extend their presentations into the digital space.
Liste Expedition Online was launched in December 2021 as a non-commercial re- search forum. The platform features a continuously growing artist index with the world’s most important new positions in contemporary art as well as special pro- jects carried out in collaboration with artists and magazines. Liste Expedition is permanently available throughout the year.
