This piece has a very ruminant touch to it, at the first glance you think it is perfectly symmetrical but then you see that there are slight differences. When we were looking at it for a while, we always discovered new elements in the painting.

What we like a lot about this piece, is that it has something mysterious and almost conspiratorial about it. A bunch of people, circling and standing together as a unity.

This piece is very beautiful, to us it looks like something someone started, but did not yet finish and left it just as it is.
It reminds us a bit of a sea dweller.

Art Basel 2014 | Highlights
The 45th edition of the Art Basel is now officially over, and we are looking back.
This year was, once again, full of inspirational art, unique design and fascinating performances.
Behind us lies a week full of creativity, exciting experiences and wonderful people we have met.
ART UNLIMITED
As always in Hall 1, Art Unlimited created a huge hall of impressive artwork.
All of the installations were fantastic and very fascinating, there were video installations, light installations, sculptures, paintings and much more.
Even though all of them were brilliant, we picked some of our favourite installations to present them to you, visit the links to our posts below for informations on the different pieces.
ART BASEL
Among all the applications, Marc Spiegler (Director Art Basel) and his team picked 232 galleries to present their artwork. The result is like a huge museum with artwork from every era, artform and from all around the world. During our visits of the Art Basel, we have captured some of the pieces that caught our eyes for you. You will find them when you click the links to our posts below.
Of course this is only a very small extract of all the beaufitul art that was shown this year.
14 ROOMS
For the first time this year, we had a live art exhibition called '14 rooms' by Fonation Beyeler, Art Basel and Theater Basel, which is curated by Klaus Biesenbach and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
For us the visit of 14 rooms was one of the most intense experiences this year, as every visitor had the chance to be 'a part of the art' for a moment. The rooms are full of different and fascinating experiences, and this visit is unforgettable to us.
Find more information and pictures of the exhibitions and the different rooms, when you use the link to our post below.
DESIGN MIAMI/
The Design Miami/ is the global forum for design, which brings to Basel every year the best the world of design has to offer.
We loved looking at all the beautiful pieces from galleries from all around the world.
Visit the link below for more information on some of the galleries and their pieces.
STREETSTYLE ART BASEL
We were amazed about how much thought people seem to give to their outfits when visiting the Art Basel. We met people, who created their outfits especially for the Art Basel, for these people this is also a way of expressing their personality, so we let them choose how they wanted to be photographed. All of the pictures you will find when you visit the links below, are of people that caught our eyes and we are very happy to have their permission to take pictures of them and post them here on our blog.
A great thank you to all the people, and also to the main sponsor of the Art Basel, UBS, who have once again made this wonderful event what it is, and brought to all of us the most beautiful and inspiring art from all around the world.
We are already now looking forward to the 46th edition of the Art Basel, from June 18-21, 2015.
