gallery testimonials

“Our sales far exceeded expectations,
thanks to a highly engaged audience
eager to explore and connect with
the artworks on display. Meeting both
new and familiar collectors allowed
us to deepen our connections during
our fifth year of participation. We
are already eagerly anticipating
next year’s edition and can’t wait to
return to this vibrant celebration
of photography!”

— Buchkunst, Berlin

“The 2025 edition was characterised by
excellent sales figures. The carefully
curated stands showcase works by
modern and contemporary artists,
alongside dedicated gallery owners,
fostering an inviting atmosphere for
an ever-growing number of collectors
who take a leisurely walk from Art Basel to the Volkshaus.”

— Galerie Esther Woerdehoff, Paris

“We have enjoyed strong international sales this year, placing works with new collectors from Sweden, Bulgaria, Greece, Germany, Monaco and the United States. The interest in our booth has been exceptional, and the feedback on our programme has been overwhelmingly positive.

After eleven years of participating in Photo Basel, it is wonderful to see the fair continue to attract such an engaged international audience while maintaining its unique quality and atmosphere. We are already looking forward to returning next year.”
