Curated by Gianni Jetzer, Director of the Swiss Institute in New York, Art Basel’s Unlimited enables galleries to showcase artworks which cannot be exhibited within traditional art fair stands. The vastness of Unlimited allows for the proper display of ambitious and large-scale works including certain sculptures, installations and performance pieces. This year’s Unlimited section features 79 such works and here are a few of the top pieces:
