Art Basel Paris is back under the Grand Palais's grand roof!

It's official: Art Basel Paris is back to light up the French capital this autumn. Following a hugely successful 2025 edition with over 73,000 visitors and representatives from more than 240 museums and institutions from around the world, the event once again establishes itself as the highlight of the Parisian art season. For 3 days, artists and galleries from every corner of the globe will showcase their work before the discerning eyes of collectors, curators and art enthusiasts. And the program looks absolutely packed!

A concentration of talent

In just five years, Art Basel Paris has become one of the most prestigious events on the global art calendar. And this year again, the Grand Palais is raising the bar considerably, welcoming no fewer than 211 galleries — of which only 64 have spaces in France. The fair, which brings together exhibitors from 41 countries and territories, is organized around three main sections:

As you wander through the rooms and galleries, you'll discover for example the fascinating works of Angharad Williams featuring trout imagery, presented by KIN gallery, the umbrella and cardboard sculptures by Clémentine Adou exhibited at Lo Brutto Stahl, the analog photographs by Nat Faulkner at the stand of London gallery Brunette Coleman, or even the unique paintings by Yann Stéphane Bisso, presented by Exo Exo, always there to introduce us to talented new artists. Not to mention the established classics from galleries Perrotin, Templon, Almine Rech, Gagosian and Continua, which will notably highlight the talented Eva Jospin and her mesmerizing compositions.

Accessible offers for everyone

In addition to these three sections, Art Basel Paris offers us different packages to meet everyone's needs and expectations. So this year, you'll be able to enjoy once again the Oh La tour

The big news this year, Conversations, Art Basel's flagship conference program, takes over the Auditorium to bring together major figures from art and culture around a diverse range of topics. It's a chance to dive into the world of certain artists during one-to-one sessions, but also to explore broader themes, like the future of Centre Pompidou or the Louvre (with Claire Chazal and the presidents and directors of the museums involved), as well as wider reflections on art thanks to expert analyses and artistic curators. Round tables that are always free and open to the public.

Once again this year, Art Basel Paris ventures beyond the walls of the Grand Palais to offer us the Public Program, presenting unique works in iconic locations throughout the capital. Thus, the Palais d'Iéna welcomes a creation by Alice Diop, while the Petit Palais becomes home to the sculptures of Cosima von Bonin. The Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine, Square Jean Perrin, or even the entirety of Winston Churchill Avenue (where the Grand and Petit Palais are located), all these places allow you to enjoy the magic of the event for free.

Beyond that, from October 22 to 25, the fair invites you to take part in a unique experience « at the crossroads of art, music and cinema». At the heart of the rotunda, the collectiveGENER8ION, created by Romain Gavras and Surkin, invites you to experience a unique immersive projection that's completely free, imagined in collaboration with Live Nation, to extend the unique journey from their music video that's reached over 37 million views for "Storm II"
