photo basel returns to Berlin – as part of Berlin Art Week 2025

Five years after its inaugural edition in the German capital, photo basel will once again take place in Berlin from September 11–14, 2025. Hosted at Berlin Tempelhof Airport, the fair returns in collaboration with the POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair and will once again be an official part of Berlin Art Week.

We are thrilled to renew this partnership, offering our exhibitors the opportunity to participate in one of the most important art events of the autumn season – an event that recently attracted over 120,000 visitors. Participating galleries will present photographic positions within a unified booth concepts.

Last year, the POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair drew an impressive 111 galleries from 24 countries and welcomed more than 30,000 visitors, solidifying its role as a cornerstone of Berlin’s vibrant art scene. It offers selected galleries a chance to showcase their artistic programs and positions to a wide, international audience during Berlin Art Week.

The venue for the 2025 fair is once again the iconic Hangars 5 and 7 of Berlin Tempelhof Airport. With their light-filled halls, soaring 16-meter ceilings, and more than 10,000 square meters of space, they offer a unique and relaxed atmosphere. The expansive layout also allows for a diverse and high-quality supporting program, including special exhibitions, award ceremonies, talks, the Berlin Art Week Collectors Dinner, and many other highlights.

Since 2014, the POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair has been an official partner of Berlin Art Week – and today remains its only art fair. Berlin Art Week is a prestigious event that unites a curated selection of exhibition openings from Berlin-based galleries, private collections, project spaces, and leading museums and institutions, including the Neue Nationalgalerie, Hamburger Bahnhof, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlinische Galerie, Gropius Bau, and many others.

photo basel is excited and honored to once again be part of this dynamic and inspiring art week.
