The 20 Best Booths

At Moran Bondaroff’s first showing at Art Basel in Basel, the Los Angeles-based gallery extends beyond its typical “young, cool artist” wheelhouse to present the work of 80-year-old California assemblage pioneer George Herms. (The artist, one of the last living members of America’s Beat generation, has works in the Pompidou’s upcoming show about the movement.) Herms’ Joseph Cornell-like boxes from the 1960s onwards, made from found materials—film reels, door knobs, rusted saw blades, and readymade sculptures—and all signed with “L-O-V-E,” feel fresh at the very European Basel fair. At the same time, the gallery’s placement in a section showing mostly Arte Povera artists makes the work feel almost at home.
