A Swiss contemporary gallery with a sharp international eye. Wilde Basel is the kind of space where Basel’s serious art culture feels more experimental, current, and connected to global conversations.

Wilde is a contemporary art gallery with locations in Geneva and Basel, presenting both established and emerging artists. The gallery was established in 2015 in Geneva by Barth Pralong and Sébastien Maret, and today positions itself within both the Swiss and international contemporary art scenes.

The Basel space is listed at Angensteinerstrasse 37, 4052 Basel, giving the gallery a presence beyond the city’s museum core and adding another layer to Basel’s contemporary art ecosystem.

What you’ll see here

At Wilde Basel, expect temporary exhibitions rather than a permanent collection. The program can move across painting, sculpture, installation, new media, photography, conceptual work, and contemporary practices that often connect material experimentation with social, technological or poetic questions.

You may encounter:

  • Emerging and established contemporary artists
  • Swiss and international gallery exhibitions
  • Painting, sculpture, installation and digital practices
  • A more intimate alternative to Basel’s major museums
  • A gallery experience that feels connected to Art Basel’s international rhythm

Worth the trip

Yes — especially if you want Basel beyond the obvious icons.

What makes Wilde Basel special is that it adds a younger, sharper, gallery-driven energy to a city already known for museums, collectors and the global art fair circuit. It is not about blockbuster scale; it is about proximity to artists, ideas and the contemporary market.

ArtLovers Tip

Visit Wilde as part of a Basel gallery route, not as an isolated stop. Pair it with Kunstmuseum Basel, Hauser & Wirth Basel, von Bartha, or Art Basel week if you are in town in June.
