Too big for a booth? Art Basel still has room for your art

This year, 75 large-scale projects, including film, video and virtual reality installations (which can’t be shown in a booth), are on view, with pieces by established names such as Larry Bell, Duane Hanson, Fiona Tan and Franz West.

Artist Do Ho Suh created his first “Hub” sculpture as a fabric version of his home that could collapse to fit into a suitcase. “The idea was how to take your memory and your culture with you in a suitcase and give yourself some comfort when you’re in another country,” explained Rachel Lehmann, co-founder of the Lehmann Maupin gallery, which is bringing one of his hubs to Art Basel, in collaboration with the gallery Victoria Miro.
