Art Basel Week 2008: Extensive Coverage on VernissageTV
 |
| Takashi Murakami's Oval Buddha (2007) at Art Unlimited (Blum & Poe Gallery) |
VernissageTV had an early look at Art Basel's Public Art Projects and the satellite fairs and at some Art Basel related events in Zurich. Concerning Art 39 Basel, VernissageTV focused on the Art Unlimited sector with two videos. There is an interview with American artist Ellsworth Kelly, and we had a look at the booths of the galleries Jan Wentrup and Kloserfelde. Jan Wentrup presented a solo show with artist Gregor Hildebrandt and Klosterfelde a video work by Christian Jankowski.
At Design Miami we attended the press preview and opening and interviewed Rianne Makkink and Jurgen Bey of Studio Makkink & Bey, and the winners of the Designers of the Future Award Max Lamb and Julia Lohmann.
