After three years of operating under the same roof, the section of Art Basel devoted to contemporary prints will now move to a separate location and take place earlier than the main body of the fair. This will allow more room in the main section of the fair where a number of innovations will be in evidence next year: a separate section for galleries exhibiting for the first time; a section for photography and publishers and a more spacious layout of stands and aisles. The multiples section will also be enlarged to encompass artists’ posters, videos, livres d’artiste and books on art. The move to the new space in the Rundhof will also allow for exhibitions and performances of music, theatre and installations. Edition 4/93 as the graphics section is now called, will take place from 4 to 6 June 1993, while the rest of the fair runs from 16 to 21 June 1993.
