This fall, Art Basel will launch two new Online Viewing Rooms embracing a brand-new concept. With up to 100 exhibitors, they will last only four days and focus on key themes. ‘OVR:2020’, which will run from September 23 to September 26, 2020, will be dedicated to artworks produced in 2020, while ‘OVR:20c’, which will take place between October 28 and October 31, 2020 will focus on 20th century works.&nbsp;

	Both Online Viewing Rooms are open to proposals from all former Art Basel exhibitors from 2018 onwards. The presentations, which will include up to 6 artworks, will be handpicked by two new selection committees: The September Selection Committee comprises Sadie Coles (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1262/Sadie-Coles-HQ" target="_blank">Sadie Coles HQ</a>), Massimo de Carlo (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1104/Massimo-De-Carlo" target="_blank">Massimo de Carlo</a>), Prateek Raja (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1363/Experimenter" target="_blank">Experimenter</a>), Lisa Spellman (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1051/303-Gallery" target="_blank">303 Gallery</a>), Mills Moran (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/2057/Mor%C3%A1n-Mor%C3%A1n" target="_blank">Morán Morán</a>), and Jasmin Tsou (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1573/JTT" target="_blank">JTT</a>). The Selection Committee for the October iteration includes David Fleiss (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1130/Galerie-1900-2000" target="_blank">Galerie 1900-2000</a>), Emi Eu (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1284/STPI" target="_blank">STPI</a>), Lucy Mitchell-Innes (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1223/Mitchell-Innes-Nash" target="_blank">Mitchell-Innes &amp; Nash</a>), Mary Sabbatino (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1186/Galerie-Lelong-Co" target="_blank">Galerie Lelong &amp; Co.</a>), Steve Henry (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1094/Paula-Cooper-Gallery" target="_blank">Paula Cooper Gallery</a>), and Thiago Gomide (<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1068/Bergamin-Gomide" target="_blank">Bergamin &amp; Gomide</a>). The participation fee is 5,000 CHF and the platform will feature a new live-chat function, allowing collectors and visitors to connect seamlessly with galleries.


	‘While the art market still faces difficult times, we feel it's pivotal to continue exploring different ways of supporting our galleries and engaging with our audiences,’ says Art Basel’s Global Director Marc Spiegler. ‘The highly-focused September and October editions of the Online Viewing Rooms are an opportunity for us to keep this platform evolving and provide our galleries with additional opportunities in this highly dynamic moment.'


	Further information on participating galleries and their online presentations will be made available in the coming weeks.
