Art Basel Highlights Key Venice Biennale and Spring 2026 Art Season Exhibitions
Art Basel has published a new set of recommendations spotlighting exhibitions that run alongside the Venice Biennale and across the broader spring art season, focusing on shows staged in palazzi, industrial venues, and other notable sites beyond the central Giardini and Arsenale.
The selection includes an in depth feature on Yto Barrada’s installation at the Venice Biennale by writer Emily LaBarge, a survey of standout spring exhibitions from the UBS Art Collection, and a profile of designer Dries Van Noten’s role in Venice’s emerging cultural scene by Mahoro Seward.
Further coverage examines curator Koyo Kouoh’s Venice exhibition and the importance of art schools, the preservation and market for Land Art, and the reception of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s new building, culminating in an announcement that Laurie Anderson, Arthur Jafa, and Barbara Kruger will lead the 2026 Art Basel Awards.
Readers can explore these features and the full list of recommended shows on Art Basel’s website for exhibition details and related programming.
