Since 1996, FITZ & CO has represented Art Basel, the leading international art fair for modern and contemporary works held annually in Basel, Switzerland. Beginning with the 1998 show, our responsibilities extended beyond North American media relations to include serving as the U.S. representative for Art Basel, where by we implemented client development through cultivation of museum trustee groups and individual collectors from across the country. We are also responsible for all special events held in the U.S. (excluding Florida) including conceptualization and production. In 2007, Sara Fitzmaurice was selected as the only American to serve on the search committee for the new directors. The U.S. market for Art Basel has grown to be one of the largest and most important to the success of the show. Since the beginning of the campaign, feature stories, reviews and items have appeared in scores of outlets, from The New York Times Business and Arts sections to Travel + Leisure magazine and attendance by U.S. media, museum groups and individual collectors has increased to record numbers.
