Art Basel

Art Basel is an international contemporary art exhibition held each year in Basel, Switzerland. Like the Venice Biennale, it has been called "the Olympics of the art world". [ [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2004/06/28/babas26.xml&sSheet=/arts/2004/06/28/ixartright.html The Olympics of the art world - Telegraph ] ] The first Art Basel was held in 1970.

The show is usually held in June. Since 2002, a sister show, Art Basel Miami Beach, has been held in Miami Beach, Florida each December.

In 2007, Annette Schönholzer, Marc Spiegler, Cay Sophie Rabinowitz took over for the director of the show, Sam Keller. Rabinowitz became artistic director, Schonholzer was in charge of organization and finances, and Spiegler was responsible for strategy and development.

She was the artistic director for both fairs. The fair has gave each of Rabinowitz's former co-directors, Annette Schönholzer (formerly director of operations and finance) and Marc Spiegler (formerly director of strategy and development), the title of co-director, Art Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach.
