Mickalene Thomas’s 1970s Cocktail Den for Art Basel (2013)
The ambitious installation, Better Days, will transform the Galerie at Volkshaus, in downtown Basel, into an immersive
art experience for the duration of the show. It is inspired by a theatrical play ‘Put a Little Sugar in my Bowl’ and parties
hosted by Thomas’s mother in the late ‘70s.
