photo basel 2016 - end of show report.

Despite the tense political climate in Europe and the rest of the world, the second edition of photo basel was a true success. photo basel’s new location "Volkshaus" was widely perceived as an ultimate advantage – photo basel now being in walking distance of Art Basel.

The second edition of photo basel attracted a little less than 10’000 visitors – a new record! Attendance from international collectors and institutions included*:
