In 1970, a few Basel gallerists put their passion and determination behind an ambitious vision, and now, over forty years later, Art Basel is recognized as the premier international art show, providing a platform for artists and gallerists from around the world. Take a look at our timeline to see where we have been and how far we have come.  Today, HK Art Basel is open, and has many various children Art Activities.
