Art Basel Paris

Art Basel Paris, the essential gathering for lovers of modern and contemporary art

Calling all art lovers: Art Basel Paris 2026 will take over the recently renovated Grand Palais this fall, from October 23 to 25, 2026, for its fifth edition—the first under the direction of Karim Crippa. The fair highlights the city’s avant-garde heritage and features a selection of 211 international exhibitors from 41 countries and territories, more than 60 of which have galleries in France. These galleries present the full spectrum of modern and contemporary art, ranging from painting to video, including sculpture, installations, photography, and digital art. Young artists receive special support through the galleries in the Emergence section, while the Premise section highlights unique historical projects. Art Basel Paris aims to establish itself as a flagship event in Parisian cultural life by strengthening ties with other French cultural industries. The connections with fashion and design remain particularly dynamic, notably through the “Oh La La!” rehanging initiative—conceived in collaboration with a figure from outside the art world—and the “Conversations” lecture series hosted at the heart of the fair. A free public program of exhibitions and installations, open to all, is also taking place throughout the city in partnership with major institutions and Miu Miu as an Official Partner, inviting visitors to a unique artistic immersion across the capital.
