Viewing Art Basel Paris 2025 at the Grand Palais

From 24–26 October 2025, Art Basel Paris continues the European marathon of fairs under the historic glass roof of the Grand Palais, gathering 206 galleries from 41 countries—an affirmation of both global reach and Paris’s local artistic vitality. The main “Galeries” sector continues to feature blue‐chip names and major works spanning modern, post-war and contemporary art, while the “Emergence” section gives visibility to younger galleries and emerging artists. Head to “Premise” for thematic curatorial projects.

The fair’s Public Program extends beyond the fair halls: large-scale installations and art interventions appear around Paris in venues such as Avenue Winston-Churchill, Place Vendôme, the Cité de l’architecture and more. A highlight this year is the “Oh La La!” initiative, curated by fashion documentarian Loïc Prigent under the theme “À la mode”, blurring the boundary between art and fashion that Paris is famous for.

Standout booths for 2025’s edition include Tina Kim Gallery’s rare presentation of Lee ShinJa (Korea) whose five-decade practice of fiber-based abstraction is only now gaining broader recognition outside East Asia, bridging textile tradition and contemporary abstraction. Also see Jala Wahid’s sculptures referencing blindfolded abstracted horses, a camping mattress and helmet — exploring themes of military invasion and forced migration – at Sophie Tappeiner in Emergence. For the headliners, see Thaddeus Ropac in the “Galeries” sector, where a cross-generational includes Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, Charline von Heyl, Mark Manders and Cecilia Vicuña.
