After the successful first edition of bâlelatina 2006, the international fair of contemporary art opens its doors in the city of Basel next summer at the same time as Art Basel.
bâlelatina wants to establish a cultural and commercial field where the most outstanding collectors, curators, journalists and public will meet to enjoy and evaluate the best Latin Art. The Selection Committee and the curatorial adviser for this edition, Osvaldo Sánchez, have devoted every means in choosing the thirty nine (39) participating galleries.
Latin American galleries from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela; European galleries from Spain, France, Italy and Portugal along with some German and Swiss galleries compose the cast for this year.
