Ceramic Art at Design Miami/ Basel 2019
Art Basel, the
world’s most influential modern and contemporary art show, will open its doors
tomorrow, on June 13, bringing together the leading galleries and many prominent
artists from around the globe. However, Art Basel is not the only significant
event happening in Basel this week. For example, I highly recommend visiting
the amazing Design Miami/ Basel, the premier venue for creating, discussing, exhibiting,
and collecting design. The fair features many great pieces of furniture and
lighting, along with an outstanding selection of innovative fine art.
One of the highlights of this year’s edition of Design
Miami/ Basel is ceramic art. I was really impressed by so many interesting art
pieces presented at museum-quality exhibitions. I also had a chance to meet the
prominent Finnish ceramicist Kim Simonsson whose beautiful hand-made sculptures from
the famous Moss People series were brought to the show by the New York-based Jason
Jacques Gallery. Overall, Design Miami/ Basel is an amazing event, and I’m
really happy to be there and meet so many creative and talented people.
