Brian Sholis examines the evolution of the contemporary art fair through the lens of the Clark Art Institute’s extensive collection of Art Basel ephemera. By analyzing the printed materials, catalogs, and promotional items produced between 2007 and 2017, this volume offers a critical look at how the art market documents its own history and shapes the public perception of global cultural events.
