Art Basel: Booth B5 & Unlimited

For Art Basel 2025, Galerie Lelong, New York and Paris, are pleased to present works by Etel Adnan, Pierre Alechinsky, Elda Cerrato, Leonardo Drew, Jean Dubuffet, Günther Förg, Sarah Grilo, David Hockney, Hyunsun Jeon, Konrad Klapheck, Alice Trumbull Mason, Joan Miró, Jaume Plensa, Arnulf Rainer, Christine Safa, Mildred Thompson, Barthélémy Toguo, Juan Uslé, and Fabienne Verdier.

For Unlimited—Art Basel's sector for large-scale installations, curated by Giovanni Carmine—GRAY and Galerie Lelong present Jaume Plensa's Forgotten Dreams (2020), a sculptural installation of twenty-one cast aluminum doors inscribed with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Drafted in 1948 by representatives from every region of the world, the UDHR sought to enshrine a code of fundamental human rights.

Envisioned for the first time ever as an immersive, open-ended passage, Forgotten Dreams draws viewers to contemplate the commitment necessary for humanity to fulfill the declaration's mission. Conceived for Unlimited with a wall of eleven doors and a facing wall of ten with one spot left bare, Plensa posits that no matter how troubled the past, nor how painful the present, the future is yet to be written.
