2010 Swiss Yodel Festival via Flickr

The newly released Art Basel exhibitor list, something of an industry gold standard, reveals a steady rate of turnover.

A total of 45 galleries — out of around 300 — who were present in 2010 are not returning for the June 15-19 fair.

Of those, just 12 hail from the coveted Galleries section, where slots are usually not relinquished by choice. Among those not returning are Dutch dealer Paul Andriesse, San Francisco’s John Berggruen, Berlin’s Eigen + Art, New York’s Knoedler & Company, London’s Richard Green and LA’s Patrick Painter.

The most flux occurs in the so-called Art Feature and Art Statements sections where galleries apply for inclusion based on specific projects. These categories account for 37 of the change-over slots.

The fair has added 48 galleries who did not partake in 2010. The ten stepping into  “Galleries” slots include New York’s Bortolami and Moeller Fine Art, London’s Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert and Beirut’s Sfeir-Semler. LA gallery Overduin and Kite debuts in the Statements section, devoted to solo shows by younger artists, and Maccarone returns to the fair circuit in this section as well. Watch out for the IN List tomorrow.
