June Art Fair, Interviewed
This year, June Art Fair in Basel returned to Riehenstrasse 90b, a concrete bunker behind Messeplatz, for its sixth edition. The exhibitors behind the fair – Christian Andersen (Christian Andersen, Copenhagen), John Riepenhoff (The Green Gallery, Milwaukee), Jeffrey Rosen (Misako & Rosen, Tokyo) and Esperanza Rosales (VI, VII, Oslo) – discuss the gallery-led fair and exhibition platform.
John Riepenhoff June foregrounds the importance of collaboration between owner-operated galleries and complements Basel art week by providing curators and patrons with rigorous and rewarding finds. Visitors to June can expect to see a focused group of galleries bringing the best, often under-recognised artists, from each of their regions. Now that we’ve done this for several iterations, we know that June is a tool that has helped to launch the careers of artists and been a resource for other galleries and museums to discover new talent. It’s also a prime market opportunity for international audiences.
Three passionate Lancaster based freelance artists, Hannah Corbett, Lidia Ranns, and Julie Evans, are uniting their creative forces to transform the city into a vibrant hub of artistic expression with the expanded Lancaster Art Fair (LAF), running from August 19th to 23rd, 2025.
This year, LAF is evolving into a larger, city wide festival, thanks to their dedicated collaboration and partnerships with established local arts organisations.

On the plane back from Miami, I add up expenses versus income from this year’s Untitled Art Fair. It is our third year here, and our first bust. As a small Midwestern gallery, two major art fairs a year — Untitled in Miami and the Outsider Art Fair in New York — can generate a quarter of our annual income. Even more importantly, they help us develop a national collector base for regional artists. There is no other way to survive.
It is expensive to participate in more selective and carefully curated international fairs, such as Untitled. Our three-walled, 14 x 14-foot space cost $17,400. Housing for the staff, transportation, food, and additional framing rounded out the total to about $30,000.
