Unlimited
Unlimited is Art Basel’s pioneering exhibition platform for projects that transcend the limitations of a classical art-show stand. The innovative work includes out-sized sculpture and paintings, video projections, large-scale installations, and live performances. Unlimited is curated by New York-based curator Gianni Jetzer.

‘European Couples’ (1966-1971) by Dan Flavin.

Presented together, they produce an immersive, site-specific environment of light and color.
