Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced the addition of 15 new artworks from Tate to Samsung Art Store. This expansion builds on the platform’s existing partnerships with renowned institutions like the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum and many more. By integrating Tate collection, Samsung Art Store continues to bridge the gap between world-class museums and cultural institutions, bringing masterpieces directly into homes.

The new Tate collection includes iconic modern masters such as Henri Matisse, Salvador Dalí, Mark Rothko and Roy Lichtenstein — the first pop art artists to appear on the Art Store — as well as leading contemporary artists like Peter Doig and Beatriz Milhazes.

Among the highlights are some of Tate Modern’s most celebrated works: Roy Lichtenstein’s “Whaam!” Henri Matisse’s “The Snail,” a must-see in the Tate’s permanent collection; and Jackson Pollock’s “Yellow Islands.” The collection also offers a glimpse into the breadth and energy of modern and contemporary art by showcasing British painter Howard Hodgkin, alongside Peter Doig’s dreamlike “Echo Lake” and “Ski Jacket.”

With these new additions, Samsung Art Store further expands its mission to democratize access to art, making it possible for anyone to enjoy museum-quality works from home, with ease. By bringing together partners from across the globe — from New York, to Madrid to London — the platform offers a unique opportunity to experience the depth and versatility of modern and contemporary art. And with Tate now joining the lineup, art lovers can enjoy a collection that speaks to both heritage and innovation.

“Samsung Art Store is dedicated to providing people with the opportunity to experience world-class art in the comfort of their living rooms,” said Heeyeong Ahn, Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “By expanding our offerings to pieces from Tate, we are taking another step in supporting the irreplaceable experience of seeing art in person.”

Artworks from Art Basel Hong Kong, launched in March, have gained global popularity among Art Store users, ranking them in top 10 most-viewed art pieces[4]. This ongoing collaboration highlights the shared vision of expanding the role of displays as vibrant platforms for storytelling and artistic dialogue.

“With the launch of a new collection in the Samsung Art Store for Art Basel in Basel 2025, we’re thrilled to offer our global audiences new ways to engage with our show,” said Maike Cruse, Director of Art Basel in Basel.

Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong, is a seasoned art professional with a deep understanding of the Asian and global art markets. For over a decade, she has been instrumental in shaping and defining the fair’s vision by fostering connections with galleries, collectors, institutions and the broader arts ecosystem.

Since her appointment as director in 2022, Art Basel Hong Kong has continued to evolve and grow — reflecting the vibrant art scene in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region at large. Her passion for building community has been a driving force throughout her career in the arts, aligning perfectly with Art Basel’s mission to bring people together through meaningful and inspiring art experiences.

Samsung Newsroom sat down with Siyang-Le to explore how Art Basel Hong Kong fosters creativity and collaboration through technology.

Vision and Future of Art Basel Hong Kong

Q: What is the vision behind Art Basel Hong Kong?

Art Basel is dedicated to connecting and nurturing the global art ecosystem. Art Basel Hong Kong places a strong emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region, with over 50% of participating galleries coming from this area. We actively support the local art scene through collaborations with various institutions and cultural organizations.

Each of our shows — in Hong Kong, Basel, Paris and Miami Beach — is uniquely shaped by its host city, an influence reflected in the gallery lineup, artwork and parallel programming developed in collaboration with local institutions.

Q: What role does Hong Kong play in the Asian art market?

Hong Kong serves as a pivotal gateway to the broader Asian art market. With its established auction houses, vibrant gallery scene and international collector base, the city remains a key hub for both Western and Asian art. As Asia’s leading art hub, Hong Kong continues to bridge art communities across the region and beyond.

Q: How has Art Basel Hong Kong evolved over the years?

Our fair has evolved alongside Hong Kong’s vibrant art scene, with both continuously inspiring and impacting each other. The city’s cultural landscape has expanded significantly during my time here — invigorated by a new generation of collectors, the opening of world-class institutions like M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum and a dynamic surge of commercial, non-profit and artist-run spaces. Internally, we have introduced numerous initiatives and programs as well. I am proud that Art Basel Hong Kong has become a cornerstone of the city’s arts community, with widespread recognition of the fair’s presence this month.

Samsung x Art Basel: Redefining Art Appreciation

Q: As the official visual display partner for Art Basel, how is Samsung Electronics driving the integration of art into everyday life through Samsung Art Store?

The global collaboration between Art Basel and Samsung presents an exciting opportunity to merge world-class art exhibitions with cutting-edge innovations. Technology has transformed the way people engage with art, making it more accessible through platforms like Samsung Art Store. Advancements in display technology enable viewers to experience art in new and immersive ways — bringing it into their daily lives and fostering deeper connections.

▲ The Samsung Art Store is home to 3,000+ works from world-renowned museums, galleries, and artists. Subscribers can explore expertly curated masterpieces in stunning 4K resolution. While previously exclusive to The Frame and MICRO LED, the Samsung Art Store will soon be available on 2025 Samsung AI-powered Neo QLED and QLED TVs.

Q: How do you see this partnership impacting the way people perceive and appreciate art?

Technology-driven initiatives have the power to expand cultural exchange and inspire audiences worldwide. With The Frame, Samsung has already built strong partnerships with leading museums, institutions and artists — bridging diverse artistic practices and mediums. I believe that growing these collaborations will be crucial to further integrating technology into the art world and redefining how people experience and appreciate art in their homes.

Q: What has your experience been like using The Frame in Art Mode?

I had the opportunity to explore The Frame during Samsung’s activation at our Basel and Miami Beach shows last year, and I was truly impressed by how artwork is presented on the screen. I encourage visitors to experience The Frame in Art Mode and observe how various artistic techniques and textures are rendered digitally. While The Frame offers a stunning way to enjoy classic masterpieces, what excites me most is how Samsung Art Store enhances the experience by showcasing emerging artists and fresh artistic perspectives.

▲ A comparison of The Frame Pro’s TV Mode and Art Mode

The Role of Technology in the Evolving Art World

Q: How is technology influencing the presentation and consumption of contemporary art?

Technology plays a crucial role in expanding the global reach of contemporary art and transforming how we experience and connect with it. Digital platforms have redefined accessibility, while AI and blockchain are revolutionizing how art is created, traded and authenticated. Last year at Art Basel Miami Beach, we introduced an AI-powered mobile app to make exploring the fair more intuitive and engaging. Our use of technology is all about enhancing the visitor experience — offering audiences fresh, innovative ways to discover new artwork, navigate the fair seamlessly and connect with galleries.

Q: What changes have you noticed in the art world?

Collector interests are shifting. There is a growing demand for emerging artists and increased recognition of local artists, whose presence in private collections is rising. Additionally, a generational shift is underway as younger collectors take on a more active role in shaping the market.

▲ “Enduring as the universe (天長地久, 2024)” by Ticko Liu displayed on The Frame Pro

Q: What opportunities excite you most about Art Basel Hong Kong’s future?

I’m excited to continue deepening collaborations within Hong Kong’s dynamic arts community and contributing to Asia’s art ecosystem. Strengthening regional and global connections not only enriches the fair but also fosters a broader dialogue around contemporary art. Through meaningful partnerships such as Art Basel’s collaboration with Samsung, we can continue to progress while staying true to our core mission — delivering world-class art fairs for our global community of galleries, artists, partners and collectors.

This year, Art Basel Hong Kong will take place from March 28 to 30 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Visitors are invited to explore premier galleries from around the world and discover diverse artistic perspectives through modern and contemporary artwork.

In her new role, Cruse oversees the fair’s operations and cultivates a vibrant network of relationships with the world’s leading galleries, collectors and artists, ensuring Basel remains a critical hub for the global art scene. Samsung Newsroom spoke with Cruse about the history of Art Basel and its ambitious future ahead of The Frame’s debut at the fair.

Leadership and Vision at Art Basel

Q: What are your key responsibilities at Art Basel and what motivated you to take on the role of director in Basel?

As Director of Art Basel in Basel, I am leading our flagship fair, overseeing the Basel-based team and working closely with the fair’s network of galleries, collectors and artists as well as nurturing strong relationships with the city’s leading museums, institutions and cultural partners. I’m also collaborating closely together with the Directors of our other three fairs in Paris, Hong Kong and Miami Beach.

When I rejoined as Director of Art Basel in Basel last July, I was thrilled by the opportunity to work with an exceptional, international team. Over the nearly past 20 years, I attended every Art Basel show and maintained an ongoing dialogue with the fair in my previous position as Director of Gallery Weekend Berlin. I am honored to lead this premier event in the vibrant art and culture hub of Basel and look forward to guiding its next chapter.

Q: Could you share how you appreciate art in your daily life, both through your job and outside work?

One great advantage of my job is that I am constantly surrounded by art – something I truly appreciate. Art continually inspires me, and I’m always seeking to discover new artists and projects. I am especially looking forward to all the discoveries I will make at this year’s fair in Basel, where over 250 galleries from 40 countries will once again showcase works of the highest quality.

Q: Art Basel is such a pivotal event for artists and enthusiasts. Can you tell us a bit about the show and its significance? 

Art Basel, established in 1970 by gallerists from Basel, has evolved into the pinnacle of Modern and contemporary art exhibitions worldwide. Our engagement has expanded beyond art fairs through new digital platforms and initiatives like The Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report, reflecting our commitment to innovation and the global art community.

 “I would advise our visitors to explore The Frame in Art Mode and observe the distinctions among various techniques and textures displayed on the screen.”

Art Basel X The Frame: Offering New Wats of Accessing Artworks

Q: How do you feel about The Frame becoming the first official visual display for Art Basel in Basel? 

In my view, the digital domain has the potential to enrich the tangible experience of art within our fairs. As fair organizers, our aim is to deliver the best possible fair experience for our international community of galleries, partners, visitors and collectors. This not only entails a rigorous selection process to ensure that the artworks meet our quality standards but also our commitment to integrating new technologies and services into our show.

I am thrilled about this partnership and look forward to the first edition of Art Basel in Basel with The Frame as the official visual display. In addition to its ability to serve as a digital canvas, showcasing artworks from renowned artists and museum collections, The Frame accurately displays vivid color. The Frame’s minimal light reflection is a big bonus as well, ensuring a realistic and immersive presentation of art’s beauty.

I am confident that our partnership with Samsung The Frame will elevate the show experience for our diverse audiences. The technology is remarkable, offering different perspectives on artworks and introducing new methods of displaying information, thereby improving wayfinding and minimizing paper consumption.

Q: Can you tell us about the The Frame Lounge? What can visitors expect from visiting the lounge?

I am excited to see the lounge setup myself. It will feature The Frame in action amidst our bustling show floor. Especially the ‘Find The Frame’ section will be interesting – I’m curious to see how visitors react to this concept[1] where original pieces of art and The Frame will be installed together. The Samsung lounge presenting the frame is to create an open space for exchange, experience and enjoyment, bringing new perspectives to today’s technological innovations.

I would advise our visitors to explore The Frame in Art Mode and observe the distinctions among various techniques and textures displayed on the screen. The thematic selections on display in The Frame Lounge will enable visitors to dive into different scenarios of displaying art with Samsung The Frame. Of course, it is a great opportunity to experience classic Masterworks, but what is interesting to me too is that you can discover so many talented upcoming artists.

“The growing intersection of technology and art is an interesting topic that is also widely discussed in the artworld now.”

Expanding Creative Boundaries in the Digital World

Q: How do you perceive technology’s impact on art, and what future trends do you foresee in this evolving field?

Technology already has a profound impact on art and the art world. For example, technology has made art more accessible to a wider audience through various channels, such as the Samsung Art Store. Viewers can experience art in immersive ways, allowing them to interact and engage with it.

Technology will continue to shape the ways the art world sees, presents and engages with art. Digital innovations have changed the way artists create art, as they increasingly use technology as a medium for their practice, incorporating software or even artificial intelligence. That’s what I love about art – it constantly evolves, with artists experimenting, tapping into new industries and pushing boundaries.

The growing intersection of technology and art is an interesting topic that is also widely discussed in the art world now. As part of this year’s Art Basel in Basel Conversations program, we will host a panel between Ben Davis, National Art Critic Artnet News, New York and artist Cécile B. Evans to discuss the matter, taking place on Wednesday, June 12, at the Auditorium in Hall 1.0 with free admission to the public.

Q: Looking ahead, what do you expect from The Frame and Samsung Art Store?

I believe that technological initiatives have the potential to foster cultural exchange and inspire art enthusiasts worldwide. Through The Frame, Samsung has already established partnerships with renowned museums and cultural institutions, but also artists, thereby building bridges between various forms of artistic practices and mediums. I think collaboration with a diverse range of artists and art professionals is key to further establishing technological initiatives in the art industry.

Unique Features and Programs at Art Basel in Basel 

Q: What are the distinctive features of Art Basel in Switzerland compared to Hong Kong, Paris and Miami Beach?

Each of our shows is closely tied to its host city and region, creating distinct, localized experiences. Art Basel in Basel is our largest fair, featuring 285 galleries and an extensive public program. Paris has a strong French influence, Hong Kong showcases 50% Asian galleries and Miami Beach has a significant portion of the galleries coming from North and South America. These fairs complement each other, expanding our international network.

Q: What unique aspects set Art Basel in Basel apart from other art fairs?

Our fair in Basel is our flagship fair, the mothership – it is where galleries showcase their finest works, thanks to the very precise selection process of the selection committee. Basel remains a beloved and important city for arts and culture. It offers first-class exhibitions and unique museums and institutions, which leads to an intense and concentrated art experience. It has one of the oldest art museums in the world, the Kunstmuseum, as well as leading private foundations, notably the Fondation Beyeler and the pathbreaking Schaulager. The city’s intimate setting also allows for a close and immersive experience of the fair and all the cultural programming surrounding it.

Q: Do you have any specific programs or content you would recommend for visitors?

Our aim is to address a diverse audience, which is why we offer a generous public program besides our main fair. Our Parcours sector and the Merian are free to the public and very close to the fairground. Curated for the first time by Stefanie Hessler, Director of Swiss Institute (SI) in New York, Parcours will unfold along Clarastrasse up to the Middle Bridge, connecting the Messeplatz with the Rhine. Hessler’s concept for Parcours is a curated exhibition that meanders through empty stores and operational shops, a hotel, a restaurant, a brewery and other quotidian spaces on Basel’s Clarastrasse. Our Conversations program is celebrating its 20-year anniversary this year and will again bring together thought leaders across the art world to discuss the current issues of our time.

Besides our show program, the local institutions host exhibitions that cannot be missed, such as the Summer Show at the Fondation Beyeler or the special exhibition of 100 years of Pan-African art in the Kunstmuseum. This is one of the unique features of Basel – you find first-class exhibitions and cultural events across the city within walking distance or at most a tram ride away.

This year, Art Basel in Basel will run from June 13 to 16 at Messe Basel. Visitors are invited to explore the latest masterpieces from around the world, as well as remarkable works of Modern and contemporary art at Samsung The Frame Lounge, as industry tastemakers share their ideas.

While artworks in the real frame stay still, the artworks on The Frame changes, and visitors will be able to notice it’s a TV.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced it is showcasing its The Frame display lineup at Art Basel in Basel 2024, in its role as the show’s first official visual display partner. This year’s event is being held from June 13 to 16[1] at Messe Basel exhibition Center in Basel, Switzerland.

Founded in 1970 by gallerists from Basel, Art Basel, today stages the world’s premier art shows for modern and contemporary art, sited in Basel, Miami Beach, Hong Kong, and Paris. For its 2024 edition in Basel, Art Basel will bring together 285 leading international galleries from 40 countries to present artworks of the highest quality across all media – from painting and sculpture to photography and digital works – by artists ranging from early-twentieth-century modern pioneers to emerging contemporary practitioners. Art Basel will once again reaffirm its unparalleled position as a platform for discovery and encounters that drive the art world.

At Art Basel in Basel 2024, Samsung is hosting Samsung The Frame Lounge, an exclusive booth for its lifestyle TV The Frame, under the concept “A New Way of Exploring Art.” Models of The Frame are installed both inside and outside a dedicated lounge, as well as throughout the show, to present visitors with a variety of vivid screen experiences.

“By participating as the first official visual display partner of Art Basel in Basel, The Frame has further established itself as the lifestyle TV we all think of when it comes to digitally displaying art,” said Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We plan to provide more digital art experiences with The Frame, contributing to the expansion of the art ecosystem and pushing the boundaries of technological integration within the art world.”

Samsung’s exclusive booth features The Frame Wall, with 14 models of The Frame displaying works of art that showcase their exceptional QLED 4K picture quality. Inside the booth, a Highlight Zone displays the wide range of remarkable artwork available on Samsung Art Store, while an interactive space called “Find The Frame Zone” allows visitors to enjoy discovering The Frame hidden among real artworks, hung side by side.

The Frame Lounge is also offering two live discussion sessions (titled “The Frame & Chat”) across two days, hosted by Daria Brit Greene, curator of Samsung Art Store, Samsung’s digital art subscription platform. The first interview is with Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong (June 11) and the second is with Irene Kim, Global Head of VIP Relations, Member of the Art Basel Management Board (June 12). Attendees can hear the insights of these two Art Basel leaders on the trend of art and key highlights of the show, as well as learn more about the meaning and goals behind the collaboration with The Frame.

In addition, to celebrate The Frame’s selection as Art Basel in Basel’s first official visual display partner, Samsung is hosting a session featuring prominent influencers, including Fritz Proctor and Geneva Vanderzeil, which gives them the opportunity to view the exhibition and experience The Frame for themselves.

The Frame was designed with art at the forefront. When it’s not in use, the TV can be used as home décor by displaying artworks or pictures on a premium, QLED 4K screen. And thanks to its Matte Display, users can admire the art clearly, even in bright rooms, making it look even more like a real work of art. Through Samsung Art Store, subscribers have access to over 2,500 artworks from renowned artists, museums and industry tastemakers around the world.
