Liste was founded in 1996 as “The Young Art Fair in Basel” and is the leading international platform for new discoveries in contemporary art. As a fair for both young and emerging galleries, it provides space for artists who embody the latest developments and tendencies in contemporary art.
With a comprehensive accompanying programme, Liste fosters dialogue and builds networks that play a significant role in the social and economic success of contemporary art, its artists, and the galleries that represent them. The fair’s significance is demonstrated by the long list of artists and galleries who have successfully launched their positions in the art world with their international debut at Liste and who are today among the world’s most important professionals.
