While collectors arrived at Art Basel last week dressed to the nines and ready to splash millions on everything from a Joan Mitchell diptych ($18 million at David Zwirner) to an Ed Ruscha painting ($2.8 at Gagosian), a more understated affair took place a short walk away along the Rhine River. There, George Bak, the digital and generative art advisor, and Roger Haas, a former gallery director, held the Digital Art Mile, the city’s first digital art fair.
Spread across three locations, the fair ran from June 10 to 16 and included a five-day conference program in the city’s underground and dimly-lit cinema Kult Kino Camera.
