Annely Juda Fine Art is delighted to confirm its participation in the upcoming Art Basel 2026. We will be showcasing a curated selection of works that embody the core values of the gallery.
The origins of the gallery are defined by a trailblazing commitment to the rigours of abstraction and non-objective art, having promoted such genres as Russian Modernism, Bauhaus and De Stijl. In keeping with this founding vision, we will present a selection of exemplary works from our historic programme by Kasimir Malevich, Naum Gabo, László Moholy-Nagy, Robert Michel, Ella Bergmann-Michel, and Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart.
One of the highlights of our booth is a painting and an earlier charcoal drawing of Christ Church in Spitalfields, London by Leon Kossoff. He had lived nearby the church as a child, and first drew it in the 1950s, and later from 1987 to 2000 completed eighteen oil paintings of the church. The church is seen from the pavement of Commercial Street as if in close up, with its height dramatically foreshortened so that it fills the picture plane. Bruce Bernard summarised the importance of Christ Church for Kossoff as 'the most potent symbol of the artist's commitment to the soul of London … But to him it must also, one guesses, be a bright emblem of order, illuminating, transcending and uniting the city and its living litter of humanity.' Other oil paintings from this series of works are in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, Cleveland Museum of Art, Museu Coleção Berardo and Tate, with this particular work being shown by the British Council at the Venice Biennale in 1995–1996.
We will also be showcasing works alongside further longstanding gallery artists Anthony Caro, David Nash, David Hockney, Elizabeth Magill, Yuko Shiraishi, Suzanne Treister, and Yves Zurstrassen.
Another highlight of our booth is a recent work by David Hockney, Delphiniums on My Garden Table, July 2025. At the centre of the work is a lavish bouquet of delphiniums, which had been sent to Hockney for his 88th birthday. Flowers, which have been a frequent motif in Hockney's paintings over the years, resemble in this case a fountain of joy or even one simply of thankfulness as Hockney had confided that when he wakes up in the morning he feels grateful. Martin Gayford describes the delphiniums in Hockney's composition as transmitting the 'pleasure and excitement of seeing the world, like fireworks dazzling with beauty and energy.'
Alongside this, we will be presenting new works by Nicola Turner and Sammi Lynch, who have recently joined the gallery and are soon to have solo exhibitions at our Hanover Square gallery in London.
