Anri Sala – In the Midst of Old Masters
30.4.2024 - 15.9.2024, Kunstmuseum Basel | Hauptbau
Kunstmuseum Basel is presenting the latest work by artist Anri Sala (*1974, Tirana, Albania) in the main building in the midst of the Old Masters. Sala made the six frescoes in 2023, which were acquired by the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation that same year. In them Sala revives the historical craft of al fresco painting, in relation to thoughts about temporality and narrative, themes that are crucial to his oeuvre.
