Leading galleries and art fairs have sought to use online platforms to strengthen connections among art lovers and buyers, as the COVID-19 pandemic has brought great uncertainties to the art world.

David Zwirner, a gallery with locations in New York, London, Paris and Hong Kong, will put an online-only exhibition on public view on its website from June 17 to 26.

Basel Online: 15 Rooms will provide virtual walk-throughs of the works and extensive information about 15 artists, including Giorgio Morandi and Yayoi Kusama.

The exhibition will also be available on Art Basel's website, as part of the fair's online-viewing-rooms initiative launched in March.
