Art Basel Shop

The Art Basel Shop in Basel is now closed

Open for the duration of the 2026 fair, the Art Basel Shop was a vibrant hub that captured the spirit of the global art scene, offering visitors a rare opportunity to take home a piece of its creativity.

Designed to celebrate both the dynamic world of art and the unique cultural identity of the host city, the Art Basel Shop presented an exclusive selection of items that reflected the fair’s rich history and forward-thinking vision. Outfitted with USM fixtures, the shop’s design elevated the experience and highlighted the works on display.

From artist-designed products and original works to brand collaborations, limited-release collectibles, and Art Basel-exclusive merchandise, every piece was carefully curated to connect visitors with the pulse of contemporary art.

VIU

Designed by Zurich-based Swiss eyewear brand VIU, this exclusive collection of six limited-edition sunglasses reflected the idea that seeing is a conscious act within contemporary creativity.

FREITAG

The FREITAG for Art Basel F262-AB JULIEN Tote Bag and F218-AB Charm explored the intersection of global art and circular design. Crafted from discarded truck tarps, each piece bore the unique marks of its previous life. The design referenced shipping iconography in hi-vis pink or black – colors associated with art handling – and is silkscreen-printed by hand in Zurich. Reflecting FREITAG’s commitment to durable and functional, design since 1993, the edition was paired with a monogram charm, combining collectability with a distinctive expression of upcycling and craftsmanship.

AB by Artist Collection by Guest artist Katharina Sieverding

The AB by Artist Collection featured four selected motifs from Katharina Sieverding’s oeuvre, translated into a special range of objects and editions produced exclusively for the Art Basel Shop in Basel.

One of the defining figures of contemporary art, Sieverding has been internationally recognized since the 1970s as a pioneer of conceptual photography. Best known for her monumental photographic self-portraits, she has expanded the medium into a critical arena for questions of identity, transformation, power, and media representation. Her work is distinguished by a radical visual language, a distinctly political stance, and an enduring engagement with the politics of representation and the performative force of images.

Bringing together conceptual rigor and collectible design, the collection translated Sieverding’s unmistakable visual language into a curated series of objects. Highlights included a limited-edition BOSS blazer referencing both her iconic personal style and artistic practice, alongside apparel, stationery, and accessories. The collectible Basel Poster Tote also returned, featuring a motif drawn from one of Sieverding’s iconic artworks.

Featured Collaborations

Iconic Moments presented Jean-Jacques Duclaux (Eko33)’s Specular Cortex, a new NFT series. Byredo contributed its signature scent collection, while Lito Editions returned to Basel with a print by Billie Zangewa depicting her son, titled A Day in the Life of a Gourmand.

Alongside these presentations, the shop brought together a curated selection of artist-led and design-driven works, including Marc Jacobs’ artist-designed accessories, an assortment of Zero 10 artist objets, and the latest Louis Vuitton publications, drawn from a network of leading contemporary voices. Also featured was a PSG jersey designed by Spanish artist Edgar Plans to commemorate Paris Saint-Germain’s 2026 UEFA Champions League victory.

The program continued with Basel-based concept store SAALHOF 1123, extending this dialogue through a suite of collaborations with artists including Cassidy Toner, Lyla Marsol, Bruno Zhu, and Tobias Kaspar, among others.

Atelier Van Lieshout, the studio founded by sculptor, painter and visionary Joep van Lieshout, brought its iconic, brightly coloured stackable Spider Chairs to Basel, where they were available for purchase on-site. RAAWII presented a series of ceramic works by Danish artist Michael Kvium, while sculptural pieces by Rose Eken were presented by V1 Gallery. Finally, Gallery Delaive unveiled the exclusive release of a rare 2008 print by Ayako Rokkaku, offered for sale for the first time.

Across all contributions, the 2026 Art Basel Shop formed an ecosystem of contemporary practice in which artists, artisans, and ideas converged through a shared attention to process, materiality, transformation, and expression.

Warehouse Artefacts

The limited-edition Warehouse Artefacts t-shirt was available at the Art Basel Shop and at Warehouse Artefacts, an immersive experience by Thomas Bangalter, Julian Charrière and Rampa, presented by Art.Klub at Art Basel. Set on a deconstructed dancefloor, it featured an affirmation of hope struggling to be heard and a pulse that can still bring people together, relaying transmissions from both political history and underground dance culture. Reflecting on how meaning and community are produced during moments of crisis, Warehouse Artefacts was produced by Nordstern Basel in cooperation with Art Basel and Fondation Beyeler.
