Liste Art Fair Basel marks its 30th anniversary, a significant milestone that continues to focus on youth and innovation. The fair remains popular with visitors, featuring provocative art pieces and vibrant international galleries. Works by notable artists like Nahum B. Zenil reflect themes of identity and community, while Magdalena Petroni's taxidermied rats challenge perceptions of the organic and synthetic. Al Freeman's Comparisons series creatively juxtaposes classical and contemporary images, fostering intriguing dialogues about art in the digital age. Overall, Liste thrives in creating diverse artistic experiences for its audience.
"Nahum B. Zenil, 78, is very well known in Mexico; he's been close to the Neo-Mexicanism movement... This is a portrait of him and his husband."
"It's divisive," says sales director Ricardo Diaque. "People who like it love it. Others are quite disturbed and won't even walk in."
The prints, pushpinned side-by-side into corkboard, echo one another: a picture of a Maurizio Cattelan-esque banana taped to a wall is paired with an image of a fish smoking a cigarette taped to a microwave.
