\nArt Basel is back in its spiritual and original home of Basel for its 46th edition. Despite the Swiss leg of the event being much more somber and clinical than its cosmopolitan counterparts there’s still plenty to get excited about. Not least because it’s the most prestigious art fair in the world with more than 200 renowned galleries taking part. So prestigious you have to say it twice. But it’s not all about the money and repetitio: here’s five reasons to book a flight now and fly over to the city of art (market).

Star-studded Female booth (almost) at Victoria Miro (Stand R7)<\/h3>\n

The London gallery didn’t spare any of their major female artists and descended to Basel loaded with their new works. These include some: Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s complex paintings that coalesce elements from art historical, political and her personal references; and Yayoi Kusama’s new bronze pumpkin sculpture. Other featured artists include Grayson Perry, Celia Paul,\u00a0Chris Ofili, Kara Walker and Alice Neel.

\"WEB_Tobias_Rehberger_art_basel\" 24 Stops: Rehberger-Weg<\/p>\n

Tobias Rehberger<\/a>‘s very own art trail<\/h3>\n

The German artist whom we’ve featured in Schlank 48<\/a> is offering art goers the 24 Stops: Rehberger-Weg. This art trail named after the artist, links Fondation Beyeler and the Vitra campus and features a series of curious and colourful \u201cway-markers\u201d such as cuckoo clocks and beehives, of course with a little touch of Rehberger. And if you don’t manage to visit this time, no worries as the rail will remain for the next 10 years.
