 <\/p>\n

Art Basel Paris<\/b>, which begins this Friday, October 24<\/b>, returns to the Grand Palais<\/b> for the second time <\/b>for three days<\/b>. This worthy successor to FIAC, after forty years of loyal service, presents itself as the unmissable contemporary art event in the City of Light<\/b>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fair is structured around three major sectors: Galleries<\/b>, which presents the diversity of the exhibitors’ programs, Emergence<\/b>, which is dedicated to emerging talents, and Premise<\/b>, which showcases unique curatorial projects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Among the highlights is a Public Program<\/strong>, supported by Miu Miu, spread across nine iconic venues, as well as collaborations with the creative industries of the city of Paris, notably the Oh La La! initiative<\/strong>, which this year is curated by Lo\u00efc Prigent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As every year, the Ateliers d’art GrandPalaisRmn<\/strong> will be at their stand (M30) to unveil the new contemporary print from the Chalcographie du Louvre<\/strong>, created by artist Camille Henrot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reflecting the vitality of the art market, Art Basel Paris<\/strong> aims to be the catalyst for the French art market<\/strong>\u2014the fourth largest in the world<\/strong>\u2014accounting for 7% of global sales and more than half of the total value of the European Union.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Balcony of Honor<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

To celebrate the seventh edition of the Artycapucines program<\/strong>, which allows renowned artists to revisit Louis Vuitton<\/strong>‘s iconic Capucine bag, an installation worthy of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea<\/strong> takes place on the balcony of honor.<\/p>\n

This giant inflatable octopus, coinciding with the 120th anniversary of Jules Verne’s death and which Captain Nemo might have encountered, is the work of Takashi Murakami<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A faithful companion of the LVMH group’s luggage maker for nearly 20 years<\/strong>, the Japanese pop artist, best known for his smiling flowers, revisits the coveted leather goods model. Among his creative offerings, the Mini Tentacle bag<\/b> with an octopus clinging to the leather is well worth a look.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Newcomers<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the 206 leading international galleries<\/b> participating in this edition, thirteen are making their debut<\/b> at this cultural extravaganza.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the case for the Parisian gallery Cr\u00e8vec\u0153ur<\/b>, which brings together Miho Dohi, In\u00e8s di Folco Jemni, Ernst Yohji Jaeger, Yu Nishimura, Louise Sartor, Naoki Sutter-Shudo, as well as rare works by Morikazu Kumagai. Rooted in the Japanese concept of mono no aware\u2014the experience of impermanence\u2014the presentation breaks new ground by departing from European pictorial and sculptural conventions. Works by French-Colombian painter Emma Reyes, whose career has mainly been based in Paris, are another highlight of the gallery.<\/p>\n

Hailing from London, The Approach<\/strong> presents a group show featuring Anderson Borba, Jai Chuhan, Sara Cwynar, Sandra Mujinga, Paloma Proudfoot, and Mike Silva. Spanning painting, sculpture, photography, film, and installation, the works revisit central themes of the avant-garde\u2014namely, the body, identity, memory, and social criticism\u2014reimagining them in the present.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another noteworthy gallery is the David Nolan Gallery<\/b>, located in New York.<\/b> This gallery showcases work on paper. Drawings by Hans Bellmer, Christina Ramberg, Martin Kippenberger, Dorothea Rockburne, and Nicole Eisenman reflect diverse avant-garde approaches to the body, space, and society across generations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another New York gallery participating in Art Basel Paris for the first time, Sikkema Malloy Jenkins <\/b>presents a broad overview of its artists, including Louis Fratino, Jeffrey Gibson, Sheila Hicks, Teresa Lanceta, Jennifer Packer, Kara Walker, and Luiz Zerbini.

Strolling through the city<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Guerlain boutique on the Champs-Elys\u00e9es<\/strong> is presenting an exhibition – En plein c\u0153ur – across its three floors, which is quite unusual.

And still Gerhard Richter at the Louis Vuitton Foundation. <\/b>A major figure in post-war painting, accustomed to challenging the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, the German painter is not only making a notable appearance at the stands of the Brussels-based Vedovi Gallery<\/b> and the American Zwirner<\/b>, but also has a retrospective that is not to be missed, running until March 2, 2026.<\/p>\n
