Samsung Electronics, global display leader and provider of the Official Art TV of Art Basel, today announced the launch of the Art Basel in Basel (ABB) 2026 Collection, a curated digital exhibition available exclusively on Samsung Art Store. The collection brings together 24 works by Swiss and Switzerland-based artists from eight renowned galleries exhibiting at Art Basel in Basel 2026, held from June 18-21 in Switzerland.

“Basel has a distinct place in the art world, and this collection reflects the creative range that makes the fair so meaningful,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through our longstanding partnership with Art Basel, we are helping customers turn their screens into a personal space for discovering, displaying and living with art.”

Reflecting the range of artistic voices across the Swiss art scene, the ABB 2026 Collection will be available on Samsung Art Store starting today. The digital collection is a continuation of Samsung and Art Basel’s global partnership and brings select works from Art Basel fairs to Samsung Art TV users around the world.

A Closer Look at the ABB 2026 Collection

The ABB 2026 Collection offers a regional view of Art Basel in Basel through established names and rising talent from eight galleries. Participating galleries include Mai 36, von Bartha, Skopia and Blue Velvet from Switzerland, along with Fanta MLN, Hoffmann Donahue, Lars Friedrich, Sans titre and Felix Gaudlitz.

At its core, the collection highlights three Swiss-born artists spanning multiple generations of contemporary practice:

Thomas Huber’s “16.7.2024” reflects his distinctive approach to painting, where image and text converge to explore picture space as both a visual and philosophical construction.

Tobias Kaspar’s “The Japan Collection” examines systems of value, taste and desire through a multidisciplinary practice that bridges art and fashion.

Athene Galiciadis’s “Stillleben (Reflection on longings and belongings)” presents a richly layered visual language, combining geometric and organic forms with references to craft, design, science and spirituality.

“Basel is a city where art is experienced with great depth and attention, and I am pleased that this spirit is reflected in the Samsung Art Store’s ABB 2026 Collection,” said Maike Cruse, Director of Art Basel in Basel. “Together with Samsung, we highlight artists based in Switzerland. The collection reflects the richness, diversity and vitality of the region while reinforcing our commitment to connecting regional scenes with a global audience.”

Bringing Samsung Art Store to Life at Art Basel

At this year’s Art Basel in Basel, visitors can experience Samsung Art Store through an immersive installation that shows how art can move beyond the gallery and into everyday spaces. The experience will feature a gallery-style Art Wall composed of displays from Samsung’s 2026 Art TV lineup, including Micro RGB, OLED, The Frame Pro and The Frame. The Art Wall will showcase selected works based on attendees’ visual preferences and offer a preview of the ABB 2026 Collection, highlighting how Samsung display technology can make art feel more personal in the home.

Samsung’s Art Basel exhibit will also feature a collaboration with visual artist Daniel Arsham, Samsung’s new Art TV ambassador. Designed for The Frame Pro, Arsham’s custom bezel turns the TV frame into a sculptural surface, with a three-dimensional pattern inspired by topographical mapping data. It is paired with on-screen artwork inspired by erosion patterns and crystalline forms, extending the work into the surrounding space and reflecting Arsham’s exploration of time, material and everyday objects.

Samsung Art Store: Curated Art for Everyday Spaces

Samsung Art Store brings together more than 5,000 artworks in 4K from over 800 artists and more than 80 partners in a single subscription service.
