At Art Basel 2025, Katharina Grosse's installation, CHOIR, dominates Messeplatz with vivid color fields, merging art with architecture. This site-specific work invites direct engagement, with its expansive scale described by Grosse as liberating and grounded in imagination. Unlike traditional artworks requiring prior context, visitors encounter CHOIR suddenly, forging an immediate connection. Grosse also highlights her summer exhibitions in Hamburg and Stuttgart, further showcasing her impactful presence in contemporary art.
Key to the power of Grosse's work in general, and specifically CHOIR, is her use of an almost indefinable scale, which she describes as "liberating".
The special thing about the Messeplatz is that you enter the square without any kind of preliminary experience: you don't walk through a park and see it far away.
