Art Basel, the mother of all art fairs, has released its 2012 exhibitor list. What can we glean from the crop of approximately 300 galleries selected? The fair, which runs from June 14 through 17, will feature a selection of fresh Paris galleries, as well as a handful of promising names from Dubai. The pugnacious Eigen + Art, whose owner accused the selection committee of collusion when he was passed over last year, has been welcomed back into the fold. As for those who were left out? By our count, 39 galleries included in last year’s edition of Art Basel will not be returning this time around, including big names like Maureen Paley of London and Christine König Galerie of Vienna.

The majority of the turnover — 26 of the 39 names — participated in Basel’s “Feature” and “Statements” sections, which typically have a higher turnover rate because galleries are selected on the basis of specific projects rather than the overall strength of their program. This year, 13 galleries who previously exhibited in the more established “Galleries” section won’t be returning (a turnover rate fairly similar to that of last year, when 12 galleries who participated in 2010 stayed home).

The pruning made room for 41 galleries who didn’t participate in the fair last year. Among them is a crop of new Paris names, such as Applicat-Prazan (Art Feature), Balice Hertling (Art Statements), In Situ Fabienne Leclerc (Art Feature), and Galerie Jocelyn Wolff (Art Statements). Two rising stars in the Dubai art scene will participate in the fair for the first time in the Art Statements section. Green Art Gallery will present work by Shadi Habib Allah while Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde will show work by Rokni Haerizadeh.

One of the more amusing elements of the list is the return of Eigen + Art, who set off a national furor when he went to the German papers in outrage over his exclusion from last year’s fair. (“They messed with the wrong person,” owner Gerd Harry Lybke memorably told ARTINFO.) As for the two other Berlin galleries that joined him in his crusade, Giti Nourbakhsch was not welcomed back, while Mehdi Chouakri will participate in the Galleries section for the first time after a year hiatus from the fair.  

Other notable exclusions include popular, edgier spaces like Dublin’s mother’s tankstation, Los Angeles’s Overduin & Kite, and New York’s Reena Spaulings, which participated in the Features and Statements sections last year. The shuffling made room for some welcome new names, however, including L.A.’s Cherry & Martin, Berlin’s Peres Projects, and London’s Hotel, which co-founded New York’s Independent fair. New York additions include Alexander Gray Associates, McCaffrey Fine Art, and D’Amelio Gallery, Christopher D'Amelio's forthcoming offshoot of the recently closed D’Amelio-Terras Gallery.
