The business of art
Art Basel is the world's biggest contemporary art fair.
Art lovers and investors gathered for the 40th time in Basel in 2009. More than 300 galleries and dealers from 29 countries showed off their wares, or rather the works, of 2,500 20th and 21st century artists. (Photos and text: Christoph Balsiger, swissinfo)
