13-16 June

For the second consecutive year, Sanlorenzo reconforms its participation in Art Basel show in Basel 2019, the world’s leading art fair for modern and contemporary art, scheduled for June 13 to 16. 

This collaboration between #sanlorenzo and #artbasel started in 2018 with signing a global partnership agreement for the annual appointments in Hong Kong, Basel and Miami Beach. A choice that reconfirms Sanlorenzo’s ability, as a representative of nautical #excellence, to tell its history from new point of view, blending with new worlds and creative languages.

In the name of a unique elegance and refinement which have distinguished it since its beginning, #sanlorenzo brings to #artbasel its own story and philosophy, once again entrusting the design of its own space in the Collectors Lounge to Art Director Piero Lissoni who has become the interpreter of the company’s values through his unmistakable minimalist style.

The connection of #sanlorenzo to the artworld is narrated through the homage to Piero Dorazio, among the principal artist of abstract art in Italy, in an installation that is refined and poetic in its essentiality, the perfect expression of that sophisticated luxury that identifies the brand. 

The artwork “Blue Land II”(1992), displayed in the center of the lounge, has been chosen to pay homage to the Master of Color. During the 80s Piero Dorazio in fact reinterpreted the formal theme of reticular intersections as a new pictorial investigation tied to the perception of space through the sensations of color-light and form-composition.

It is a work which expresses great energy that seems to want to conquer the depths of space through a thick web of intersections. 

Accompanying the visitor toward the artwork, scale models of Sanlorenzo’s yacht and superyachts are displayed in glass showcases like works of art, representing that unique marriage of experience, artisanship, and innovation which forms the basis of each new sartorial creation by #sanlorenzo.

It is an approach that focuses on the highest quality and which is addressed to a sophisticated, passionate, and expert clientele.

The partnership between #sanlorenzo and #artbasel is part of a coherent journey that has seen the company collaborating with leading Galleries and cultural institutions over the years such as the Triennale di Milano during the Fuorisalone 2017 and 2018, presenting the “Sanlorenzo: Il mare a Milano” (“Sanlorenzo: The sea in Milan”) and “Il mare a Milano: Yachtville” (“The sea in Milan: Yachtville”), and with Tornabuoni Arte with which it organized, in conjunction with #artbasel in Miami Beach in 2016 and in the 57th Venice Biennale,exhibitions on board its own yachts dedicated to the Italian Monochrome and Alighiero Boetti.

The three #sanlorenzo installations signed by Piero Lissoni were born from the partnership with Art Basel which started in 2018. The first was presented at Art Basel in Basel 2018 in homage to Emilio Isgrò, the one unveiled at Art Basel in Miami Beach 2018 was a tribute to Italian artist Alberto Biasi, and the most recent one presented at Art Basel in Hong Kong 2019 wasin homage to artist Alixe Fu.
