Lisson Gallery returns to Art Basel Paris 2026 with a booth built around material and spatial inquiry, spotlighting major presentations by Olga de Amaral, Carmen Herrera, Anish Kapoor and Helio Oiticica. The presentation runs across the fair's preview and public days at the Grand Palais, with the invitation-only Avant-Premiere opening on 21 October and public days from 23 to 25 October.

At the centre of the booth stands Amaral's Entre rios 7 (2012), a linen, gesso, acrylic and gold leaf work that sits somewhere between textile, painting and sculpture. The piece reflects the Colombian artist's long fascination with alchemy and the transformation of base matter, and its Paris showing coincides with her major retrospective at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St Louis, on view through 31 January 2027 before travelling to the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum that April.

Herrera is represented by three works spanning almost seventy years: Pavan #37 (1948), an early oil on canvas; Untitled Estructura (Red) (1966/2016), in acrylic and aluminium; and the large wall sculpture Angulo Amarillo (2017). Kapoor contributes Clear to Dark Brandy (2026), a stainless steel and lacquer piece, alongside an untitled 2018 oil on canvas, while Oiticica's contribution looks back to 1956 with two Grupo Frente gouaches on cardboard.

The booth fills out with works by Huguette Caland, Ha Chong-Hyun, Lee Ufan, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Tunga, among others, examining how abstraction shapes perceptions of space and time. Additional artists include Leiko Ikemura, Tony Cragg, Pedro Reyes, Laure Prouvost, Richard Long, Oliver Lee Jackson, Yu Hong, Tishan Hsu and Joanna Pousette-Dart. The showing continues Lisson's strong run in Paris, where at last year's edition the gallery sold Ikemura's bronze Usagi Greeting for more than USD 925,000.
