Art Basel is delighted to unveil the leading galleries and first details for its fourth edition in Paris, the second to take place in the iconic Grand Palais. 203 exhibitors from 40 countries and territories, including 25 newcomers, will participate in the 2025 iteration of Art Basel Paris, showcasing a wide variety of artworks that echo the show's ability to bridge artistic excellence, cultural heritage, and cross-disciplinary innovation.
Clément Delépine, Director, Art Basel Paris, said: ‘The list of galleries participating in our 2025 show fills me with pride, excitement, and gratitude. The exceptional quality of this year's projects is powerful proof of Art Basel Paris’ magnetism - and of the central role Paris and France continue to play on the global art market and the world of culture at large. We owe it to our galleries, visitors, and partners to deliver a stellar show, cementing its place as the cultural calendar’s unmissable Fall event, and we look forward to working towards this goal.’
The fair will strongly reflect the French capital's role as the ultimate nexus of artistic, intellectual, and creative avant-gardes. A large number of galleries and artists featured in this year's show have strong and longstanding ties with the city and its vanguard spirit. More than a third of all exhibitors operate spaces in Paris, contributing to its flourishing art ecosystem, from established protagonists such as Mennour and new joiner Crèvecœur to recent additions including Modern Art and Petrine. Dozens of visionary creatives showing at the fair live and work in Paris or have spent formative years in the city. They include major established figures such as Simone Fattal, Bertrand Lavier, and Sheila Hicks; 20th-century pioneers such as Bob Thompson, Simon Hantaï, and Sonia Delaunay; and rapidly rising emerging talents including Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Ethan Assouline, and Xie Lei. The influence of Paris, as well as the artistic and philosophical movements that arose in the city over the past 150 years – from Impressionism to French post-colonial thought – will be evident across all three show sectors: Galeries, in which exhibitors present the full breadth of their program; Emergence, dedicated to emerging galleries and artists; and Premise, introduced in 2024 and focusing on highly singular curatorial proposals that may include work made before 1900.
Art Basel Paris' ambitious Public Program, a central component of the show's identity, will once again be staged in collaboration with the city's leading cultural institutions, unfolding across several storied venues of the French capital and with fashion house Miu Miu as Public Program Official Partner. In particular, 2025 marks the return of a public art exhibition in the storied Jardin des Tuileries as part of the program, organized jointly with the musée du Louvre and curated for the first time by independent curator and scholar Mouna Mekouar. Conversations, Art Basel's flagship talks program, will return to the Petit Palais, with panels gathering thought leaders from the worlds of art and culture. Art Basel Paris' Public Program is freely accessible to all visitors. Further details about this year's edition will be officially revealed at a later stage.
Furthermore, Art Basel Paris will once again stage Oh La La!, its initiative celebrating creative re-hangings of artworks, for which exhibitors in the Galeries sector will be invited to showcase rarely exhibited, unusual, and thought-provoking work on Friday, October 24 and Saturday, October 25 at the Grand Palais. For this edition, an overarching theme will be provided as inspiration for interested exhibitors. Further information will be provided soon.
