Paris is staking a claim to being a global center for contemporary art sales with ‘Paris+ par Art Basel,’ a revamped fair that hopes to woo more international buyers and build on the attraction of the city's rich cultural legacy
The event, "Paris+ par Art Basel", was awarded to Art Basel, one of the giants in the art world, which hosts fairs in Switzerland as well as Miami and Hong Kong.
"We represent all parts of the market, with unprecedented quality. The galleries bring their major works because they know that they will attract collectors," Delepine said. The Paris event replaces the International Contemporary Art Fair and follows the high-profile Frieze fair in London. It is taking place at the Grand Palais Ephémère, beside the Eiffel Tower, with 156 galleries from 30 countries.A visitor walks past the "Buste de Diego" by artist Alberto Giacometti as Paris+ par Art Basel international contemporary art fair opens in Paris, France, October 19, 2022.
