From 3-6 April 2025,
Art Paris, the leading spring
event for modern and contemporary art, is back with
a bang at the Grand Palais, whose entirely renovated
Nave and balcony spaces will allow the fair to host
170 exhibitors from 25 different countries (34 more
than in 2024). At this edition, the fair’s events programme will be even more ambitious with new the-
mes, exhibitions, prizes and panel discussions. The
Art Paris VIP programme, a regular feature, provides
a choice of 31 exhibition visits and tours reserved exclusively for guest collectors and art professionals,
highlighting the effervescent Parisian cultural scene.
The 2025 selection embodies the unique identity of
Art Paris, a fair that is both regional and cosmopolitan and, as ever, a place of artistic discovery: 60% of
the exhibitors are from France with 40% of international galleries. Moreover, 36% of this edition’s participants are new to the fair. Such figures illustrate
how Art Paris showcases the wealth and depth of the
French gallery ecosystem, from big name international galleries to unique modern and contemporary art
galleries around France. Art Paris is also committed
to supporting young galleries, notably with Promises,
the sector focussing on emerging artists. This year,
Mennour, Semiose and Christian Berst will be joining
regular exhibitors, such as Continua, Lelong, Loeven-
bruck, Meessen, Nathalie Obadia, Michel Rein, Almine
Rech and Templon, to name but a few.
New names are also joining the list of international
galleries with the arrival of Sabrina Amrani (Madrid),
Beck & Eggeling and Pasquer (Dusseldorf, Paris),
Lange + Pult (Zurich, Geneva), Senda (Barcelona),
Rüdiger Schöttle (Munich), Tang Contemporary (Bei-
jing), Waddington-Custot (London), Wilde (Geneva)
and W&K – Wienerroither & Kohlbacher (Vienna, New
York), amongst others.

OUT OF BOUNDS BY SIMON LAMUNIÈRE
For Out of Bounds, independent exhibition
curator Simon Lamunière has selected 18 in-
ternational artists from among the exhibiting
galleries. He will be exploring contemporary
creation as seen through the prism of mul-
tiethnicity and the hybridisation of forms and
cultures, while addressing questions such as
origins, gender, kinship, history and geogra-
phy. His reflections will give rise to a themed
visit and a catalogue presenting the work of
each selected artist.
