Basel Week Preview: Aqua, Context and Art Miami

Spawned under the Art Miami umbrella, Aqua, Context and Art Miami are three Basel Week sister fairs with distinct personalities. At Aqua, Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea, hailing from Milan, offers a wide range of artists who will be familiar to readers of Hi-Fructose. Ryan Heshka's pulp novel-inspired paintings will hang next to Mike Giant's crisp ink drawings and Anthony Ausgang's perversions of the cartoon vernacular. At Context, Seamus Conley's works take viewers into icy tundras at Andrea Schwartz Gallery's booth while Gary Baseman invites us into a mythical forest with Shulamit Gallery. Gustavo Lacerda's poignant, photographic portraits of people with albinism will be at Catherine Edelman Gallery's booth at Art Miami. Take a look at our preview and stay tuned for one last sneak peek of Basel Week on Friday before he head to Miami next week.
