Galerie Peter Kilchmann. The gallery just opened a show by Los Carpinteros in Zürich, but they saved a show-stopper for Art Basel: Piscina Olímpica, a 2017 sculpture that lists “ice” as one of its materials. Also on view: Eating roses in the rain, a 2018 painting by US-born Cuban artist Hernan Bas. Hall 2.1, Stand K11.
KOW. This Berlin- and Madrid-based gallery is also presenting a Los Carpinteros show right now, and they’ve also held back a piece for Basel: Celosía Copta. Díptico, a delicate terracotta sculpture in two parts. Also on view, two videos by the art duo: Comodato and Retráctil (both 2018). Hall 2.1, Stand M1.
Nicolas Krupp Contemporary Art. Look for Pilar, Casi Dormida, a colorful 2016 painting by Diango Hernández, in the presentation by this Basel-based gallery. Hall 2.1, Stand M6.

Galerie Lelong. The gallery has been closely identified with the work of Ana Mendieta and Zilia Sánchez, and both artists are represented at Basel—including a striking shaped canvas by Sánchez, from her series Topología. Hall 2.0, Stand D5.
Lisson Gallery. The fair’s Unlimited program, curated by Gianni Jetzer, is the space for massive sculpture and paintings, large-scale installations, video, and performance art.

Mai 36 Galerie. Works on view here include paintings by three Cuban artists: Después de tres, a 2015 work by Flavio Garciandía, Michel Pérez Pollo’s Untitled (2018), and Raúl Cordero’s whimsically titled Tropical Painting No. 5 (Contagious music, mosquitoes, mojitos, surveillance and people ready to fall in love…)(2017). Hall 2.1, Stand P12.
Neugerriemschneider. Jorge Pardo has been part of this gallery’s roster since its founding in 1994. His continuing explorations of art, architecture, and design are represented with a pair of figurative sculptures literally glowing with inner light, a hanging sculpture that doubles as a chandelier, and a colorful sculpture that could serve as a standing screen. Hall 2.1, Stand K8.
