The collection celebrates both emerging talent and established visionaries, aligning with Art Basel's dedication to championing contemporary art from all corners of the world.
Highlights include:
l Roméo Mivekannin, 'Young woman with peonies after Frédéric Bazille' (2023): A compelling reimagining of classical portraiture from a postcolonial perspective.
l Basim Magdy, 'An Intergalactic Messenger Teleported us to a Cave Settlement Ruled by Shared Compassion and Humility' (2022): A vibrant exploration of utopian futurism.
l Zandile Tshabalala, 'Pink Blossoms' (2024): A powerful portrait celebrating Black femininity and nature.
l Antonia Kuo, 'Willo' (diptych) (2024): A striking dual-panel composition that fuses digital manipulation with analog techniques.
The collection also includes works by iconic names such as Jo Baer, Kibong Rhee, and Lynn Hershman Leeson, further enriching the visual and thematic depth of this year's selection.
ArtCube: An Interactive Hands-on Experience at Art Basel
To further highlight the intersection of art and technology, Samsung will present an interactive lounge titled ArtCube3 at Art Basel. This immersive showcase will demonstrate how The Frame, MICRO LED, and Neo QLED 8K redefine digital art experiences by displaying artwork—including selections from the Art Basel Collection—with breathtaking detail and depth.
ArtCube invites visitors to engage with the Samsung Art Store's exclusive collections and freely experience the premium picture quality. Visitors can also make customized portraits of moving art pieces only available through ArtCube's tailored curation. In addition to the ArtCube lounge experience, Samsung will host a series of panel discussions featuring influential voices from the contemporary art scene, sparking conversations around technology's expanding role in artistic expression and accessibility.
