Situated in the heart of Basel, this gallery presents three to four exhibitions annually demonstrating a wide variety of Inuit art with an emphasis on sculptures, mainly made from stone, bone or wood. In addition there are one or two exhibitions dedicated to printed graphics. The gallery sees its role as providing a stage for internationally renowned artists, as well as a platform for young up-and-coming artists.

Daniel Blaise Thorens founded his gallery in 1976. He started out exhibiting works by famous Swiss artists such as Ferdinand Hodler, Albert Anker and Giovanni Giacometti and later added masterpieces by great international artists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissaro or Edvard Munch. Since 1980 the gallery has been a regular participant in the annual Art Basel international art show.
