FAB Paris, the international art and antiques fair, is back at the Grand Palais from September 20 to 24, 2025. As a media partner, LUXUS PLUS has launched a major Instagram competition offering its premium subscribers the chance to win tickets to this annual event, which is highly prized by art lovers, collectors, and the curious.
Art Deco, late Baroque, sixties, contemporary, primitive arts…
Born from the merger between Fine Arts Paris and the Biennale (formerly the Biennale des Antiquaires) and renamed in 2023, FAB Paris has established itself as a major cultural event, appealing to both the general public and connoisseurs, bringing together the world’s leading galleries and iconic fine jewelry houses.
After an exceptional 2024 edition, which welcomed works from the prolific collection of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild (Saint Jean Cap-Ferrat, French Riviera) to Paris for the first time, FAB Paris is bringing forward its dates and will now take place in September (rather than November as last year).
On the program: around 100 art galleries from around the world and the Nissim de Camondo Museum will present their collections at the Grand Palais for five days starting on September 20.
LUXUS PLUS is once again a partner, knowing that “this event generates a lot of interest thanks to its high standards, its richness, and its ability to celebrate beauty in all its forms and throughout all eras,” said publishing director Claire Domergue.
Beauty and Art Deco
The 2025 edition promises to be another rich experience full of encounters and discoveries, with hundreds of international galleries exhibiting, representing a total of around twenty specialties.
Newcomers from France, Belgium, Spain, Great Britain, Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, and the United States (Galerie Vallois, Patrick Derom, Marc Maison, Gokelaere & Robinson, and Guillermo de Osma) rub shoulders with regulars at the event (the Aaron, Applicat-Prazan, Jean-Christophe Charbonnier, Michel Descours, Xavier Eeckhout, Yann Ferrandin, De Jonckheere, Kevorkian, Léage, David Lévy, Alexis Pentcheff, La Présidence, Jean-Baptiste de Proyart, Rumbler, Sismann, Tarantino, Traits Noirs, RX, Von Vertes, Dina Vierny, Florence de Voldère, etc.).
The decor and scenography, designed by Constance Guisset and Sylvie Zerat respectively, promise to be just as spectacular as the works on display. Provenance, quality, and presence are definitely still the criteria at work in antique art.
Marking the centenary of the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, the Galerie Valois, a newcomer to FAB Paris, is rolling out the red carpet in Art Deco style, to which an exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (MAM) is dedicated from October 22, 2025, to April 26, 2026.
Furniture pieces reflect the taste of the 1920s and 1930s for geometric shapes and materials and details inspired by industry and aerodynamics. Twenty masterpieces by Pierre Chareau, Eileen Gray, Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, and Rateau will be on display in a setting designed by René Bouchara.
FAB Paris also promises to exhibit the favorites of designers and decorators, including Jean-Charles de Castelbaljac, Timothy Corrigan, Nathalie Crinière, Jacques Garcia, François-Joseph Graf, Constance Guisset, Pier-Luigi Pizzi, Jean-Michel Wilmotte, and Charles Zana.
Ode to female artists
This year, FAB Paris will pay tribute to female artists and trendsetters, from Marie Antoinette and her favorite painter Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun to the genius portraitists, 18th-century pastel artist Rosalba Carriera and the recently rediscovered painter Juana Romani (1867-1923). The creative minds of the 20th century will also be featured, notably Elsa Schiaparelli (immortalized in a miniature bust by her friend Alberto Giacometti), Niki de Saint Phalle, Germaine Richier, Eileen Gray, and Charlotte Perriand.
Nissim de Camondo museum, guest of honor
The 2025 edition also shines with the presence of a little-known museum specializing in 18th-century decorative arts: the Nissim de Camondo museum. As guest of honor, the Parisian institution, housed in a mansion built between 1910 and 1914 a stone’s throw from Parc Monceau, is offering an exclusive exhibition of some sixty key works from its collections, all curated by Alexandre Benjamin Navet.
The museum was opened in 1936 by banker and art collector (specializing in furniture and porcelain) Moïse de Camondo, in tribute to his son, Nissim de Camondo, a banker and aviator who was shot down in 1917.
Young talent space
With its roots in both antique works and contemporary icons, FAB Paris has not forgotten to highlight, in a dedicated space, the young dealers selected by Carole Blumenfeld, Mathieu Deldicque, and Cécilia Hottinguer.
The scenography for this space has been entrusted this year to the young architect and designer Edgar Jayet.
Disorderly Beauties
Finally, the other highlight of FAB Paris 2025 will undoubtedly be the exhibition Disorderly Beauties conceived by Jean-Hubert Martin, former director of the Centre Pompidou. It will bring together some 140 pieces from the 1900-2000, Brimo de Laroussilhe, Vallois, Didier Claes, and Stéphane Clavreuil galleries.
It should be noted that the world of beauty and craftsmanship will also be present at the Grand Palais for Les Deux Mains du Luxe, organized from October 3 to 5 by the Comité Colbert. This event, which combines artistic craftsmanship and training, will be open to the general public from October 4.
