Doha, Qatar: Art Basel’s CEO, Noah Horowitz, has reaffirmed the fair’s commitment to redefining the global art landscape through innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity—principles that will take centre stage as the prestigious art platform makes its debut in Doha.

Speaking in an exclusive interview, Horowitz said the evolution of major art fairs like Art Basel remains grounded in a single purpose: “to provide the strongest platform for galleries, artists, and collectors.” 

While the art world continues to shift with the rise of digital platforms and younger collectors, he noted that the fair’s enduring value lies in “discovery and dialogue, not just transactions.” 

According to him, the next decade will see Art Basel expand its reach and relevance by embracing data-driven insights and digital tools that enhance both transparency and engagement. 

“Gen Z and Millennial collectors expect relevance and a stronger sense of purpose in how they connect with art,” he explained. “Digital tools will continue to enrich the fair experience by deepening preparedness and year-round engagement.”
