Next edition: June 12–18, 2023
This space is so unconventional, I can see how it mirrors the ethos of the fair, and I love the idea that it’s literally underground – the underground art fair!...The collaborative and communal spirit of the fair is felt quite viscerally.
Art Review
Exhibitors were pleased to be back in the war bunker revamped by Herzog & de Meuron, which stages Basel’s alternative June Art Fair..It made for a good looking fair that despite its raw surrounds, fielded high quality work from galleries..
Financial Times
June is casual, a term that, however, has little to do with the type of art on show: strong presentations by a tight selection of galleries and project spaces.

The experience of descending the narrow and wobbly spiral staircase into a concrete cave full of artworks was nicely coupled with the refreshing beauty of an untamed garden on the ground floor, where the opening dinner–provided by a socially engaged organization–felt more like a summer picnic with friends than an art fair networking party. From its graphic design to its selection of galleries, this year’s June confirmed it is for the up-and-coming niche within the niche.

A booth-free alternative to Basel's overcrowded art fairs inside a Herzog & de Meuron building.
Kate Brown, Artnet
June has no booths, no sections, and much less danger of visual overload. The result makes for enjoyable viewing.
Kate Brown, Artnet
A laid-back addition to the high-pressure Basel landscape.
