Viewing Paris + par Art Basel 

The art glitterati will be hot footing it to Paris this weekend for the inaugural edition of Paris + par Art Basel, featuring 156 galleries from 30 countries, including a core contingent with spaces in France. The exhibitors will present exceptional works across all media, from painting and sculpture to photography and digital works, underling Paris’s status as a global cultural hub.

The main section of the fair will feature 140 of the world’s leading galleries, including Simon Lee Gallery, Pilar Corrias and Pace, which brings together works by leading 20th century artists including Jean Dubuffet, Lucio Fontana and Louise Nevelson. Also noteworthy is Hauser & Wirth’s booth, featuring new works by George Condo, Avery Singer and Rashid Johnson.

In addition to the main section is Galeries Émergentes, which features 16 solo presentations from young galleries from across the globe. Not to be missed is Sites, which presents publicly accessible works in four iconic spaces across the city, among them the Jardin des Tuileries, the Place Vendôme and the Musée national Eugène-Delacroix. Stroll around and you’ll see works by Niki de Saint Phalle, Franz West and Nina Beier, among others.
While you’re in Paris, be sure to enjoy the wealth of satellite events, exhibitions and talks taking place alongside the fair. Highlights include a new solo show by Jenny Saville at Gagosian Paris, the first Alice Neel retrospective in France at the Centre Pompidou and a major Joan Mitchell retrospective at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. Bon voyage.
