On Monday, during the presentation of the Swiss Art Awards which opened the Basel art week, the jury was already pleased with the ability of current artists to nourish their works with references to the history of art. On the scale of the fair, we often find these dialogues between generations, even between centuries, which remind us that if we are here mainly in the company of actors of today’s art, we are nevertheless after cave art, after Duchamp…
If this feeling is so significant this year, it is undoubtedly because on the side of artists, but also on the side of those who collect, we need more than ever the temporal depth which values the work as much as the no one looking at it. It allows for an easy narrative and can give the impression of possessing a piece of art history.
