The house reading
The newest of the four, in a country building a museum decade.
Qatar has spent twenty years assembling collections and commissioning buildings. The fair is the visible part of that.
It is the quietest of the Art Basel weeks, which for some collectors is exactly the point.

The difference
Why do this with us.
The date is public. What changes is everything around it, and who answers on the other end when something goes off plan.
- 01The invitation days
Works change hands before the fair opens to the public. Anyone arriving later is visiting, not buying.
- 02Gallery by gallery
We build the route around what you collect, so no time goes to what does not interest you.
- 03Dinners and openings
The satellite programme is worth as much as the fair itself, and it is closed.
- 04Discretion
Interest, figures and names do not circulate. That is how we work by default.
How it works
Three steps to a proposal.
You tell us the date, how many are travelling and what you would like to see.
We check real availability of access, hotel and table, and send the proposal in writing.
We adjust until it is right. Only then is there a booking and payment.
Frequently asked
Before you write.
Is access secured?
It depends on the date and on what you want. In the proposal we confirm in writing only what is already secured. When something still rests with third parties, we say so plainly rather than promise it.
What does it cost?
There is no price list, because each trip is built once. The figure depends on the access category, the stay and the number of guests. The proposal itemises everything, with no obligation.
Can I bring a group?
Yes. Groups change the logistics and sometimes open doors that do not exist for two people: a whole house, a private table, a boat. Tell us the number when you write.
What if the date changes?
Event calendars change, and that is not ours to control. When they do, we rebuild whatever can be rebuilt and tell you at once what is refundable and what is not, according to each supplier’s rules.
