Liste 2026
Bringing together 106 emerging galleries from 36 countries, this edition of Liste offers a comprehensive overview of recent artistic production.
With its clear focus on current positions in contemporary art, Liste remains a unique platform for showcasing the internationally significant developments of our time.
Across 74 solo presentations and 23 group presentations, including 4 joint booths, the works address the central questions of a new generation of artists—offering an opportunity to experience the diversity of contemporary artistic practices, explore defining themes of our time, and foster lasting connections.
Wall
Introduced last year, Wall invites project spaces and artist-run initiatives to realise site-specific projects.
Responding to the fair’s redesigned architecture, the format opens up wall areas around a lively central space shaped by personal exchanges, the bistro, and daily talks.
For 2026, the invited project spaces are:
-
Beau Travail (Stockholm)
-
Cherry Hill (Cologne)
-
Courtney Jaeger (Basel)
-
O-Town House (Los Angeles)
-
Radio Athènes (Athens)
Each develops specially conceived projects for this section.

Helvetia Art Prize
Helvetia returns to Liste with its award aimed at recent graduates from Swiss universities working in fine and media arts, selecting works that stand out for their originality and relevance.
This year’s prizewinner is Kelechi Amaka Madumere. In her practice, she addresses themes such as violence, childhood, and societal power structures, translating personal and collective experiences into installations, drawings, and object-based works.
