'We have powerful artists.' Ukrainian galleries at Liste in Basel bring art that shows a side of the country beyond war:
Just 15 minutes after the doors of Liste opened on Basel’s Messeplatz on 13 June, a large, 6.5-foot-long painting by Lucy Ivanova,priced at €6,000 , was snapped up by a European woman at the booth of the Naked Room.
The devastating war waged by Russia in Ukraine has torn the country apart, and while Lanko and her crew hoped to keep the sufferings of their home on people’s radar, it was not their only goal at Liste. LC Queisser, a gallery from Georgia, has also brought the Ukrainian collective Understructure to present, a printed collection of stories from Ukrainians, with a goal to raise funds for people in the war-torn country. Galleries Sandwich and Suprainfinit from Bucharest, Romania, have also added Ukrainian artists to their presentation at the fair.
The same goes for the works featured in the Naked Room’s booth. Some of them were rescued from artists’ studios in Kyiv just as the war broke out. Lanko, a co-curator of theat Venice Biennale, helped to bring the artworks—enough to fill three trucks—out of the city. But the gallery is also showing sculptures, figurative paintings on canvas and paper, as well as drawings and sketches by Kateryna Lysovenko, also born in 1989, and Katya Buchatska, born in 1987.
