ART BASEL 2014
June 2014
Basel, Switzerland

In 2014, mfc-michèle didier proposed to show at Art Basel a cabinet of curiosities, following the Renaissance tradition, displaying a series of heterogeneous works and novelties. mfc-michèle didier?s major publications echoed a series of historical artworks, selected precisely because of their relevance in regard to the publisher?s productions. Gathering all these ?wonders? (merveilles), as Patricia Falguières calls them, allowed us to offer a generous display, connected with the History of Art.

The confined space of the booth is perfectly adapted to immerse any collector or curious person in a confidential and intimate atmosphere. The same way the traditional cabinet of curiosities could be divided into categories such as artificialia, naturalia, exotica and scientifica, the artworks were here displayed in groups, organized according to several techniques: collage, drawing, poster, accumulation, vanity, language.

Here are the artist's names whose work we have exhibited: John Banting, Robert Barry, Hans Bellmer, Joaquin Edwards Bello, Victor Brauner, Vija Celmins, Serge Charchoune, Joseph Cornell, Pedro Da Costa, Max Ernst, Yona Friedman, Lajos Kassàk, On Kawara, Mark Lombardi, Christian Marclay, Allan McCollum, Annette Messager, Muntadas, Maurizio Nannucci, Roland Penrose, Francis Picabia, Alexander Rodtchenko and Andy Warhol.
