As the global art fair outfit officially arrived in Paris this week, it marked the occasion with a celebration of the city’s art scene with Vanity Fair.
And in line with this illustrious history, on Tuesday Vanity Fair and Art Basel Paris partnered to take over the entirety of Laurent’s stately anterooms, ballroom, and courtyard in celebration of the official opening party for the fair’s first edition at the Grand Palais. Look, obviously we’re a bit biased here, but I can objectively say that, having been to dozens of art fairs over the years—they don’t usually have opening-night cocktail parties like this.
Artist Carsten Höller has been hosting a Paris pop-up version of his Stockholm restaurant, Brutalisten, but managed to stop by on the early side, as did artist Claudia Comte. Several artists had come from the Fondation Louis Vuitton, where LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault had invited a select few to view the new Tom Wesselmann retrospective that also incorporates works by contemporary artists in dialogue with the late Pop master.
