With great success the 23rd edition of LISTE Art Fair that started on June 11, in Basel, was packed by collectors, artists, journalists, curators and galley owners all over the globe. For over 23 years the focus of LISTE Art Fair in Basel is to introduce and promote young galleries with primarily emerging, as yet little known artists to an international expert public. In the 2018 edition participated 79 galleries (16 galeries represented for the first time) from 32 countries with works by over 170 artists. The participating galleries impressed both the internationally active art connoisseurs in attendance as well as media experts (Part I).
