This year at the Grand Palais, 206 international galleries from 41 countries and territories, including 29 first-time participants and 63 galleries with spaces in France, will bring artworks at widely varied price points to Art Basel Paris. ‘Gallerists are conduits,’ says Clément Delépine, director of Art Basel Paris. ‘Our responsibility is to offer them a place where stories can unfold. I hope that when you enter the Grand Palais, you’ll understand what the fair is trying to do. It’s a conversation.’ Read on for a guide to noteworthy works coming to Art Basel Paris, priced under EUR 10,000, under EUR 50,000, as well as under EUR 100,000.

Nicolas Ceccaldi
Untitled 1, 2025
Pastel on paper

Multidisciplinary artist Nicolas Ceccaldi has a knack for reworking familiar images with a mix of humor and wry critique. In this masterful pastel drawing, Ceccaldi turns his attention to Napoleon, riffing on an Unfinished Portrait of Napoleon I (1808), once thought to be by Jacques-Louis David but later credited to David’s student Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson, who was often commissioned by the imperious French emperor despite his own share of scandal.

Ash Love
Happy Birthdays (DERNIER SANG),2025
Ink and digital print on silk mounted on stretcher

Ribbons, balloons, and bows: French artist Ash Love takes the festive language of birthday parties and tilts it off-kilter. In the center of their solo presentation in Exo Exo’s booth, floating balloons are printed with hearts, candles, ribbons, and intimate snapshots, weaving in Love’s own life alongside mass-produced symbols of celebration. On the walls, a series of ink-on-silk works repeat the phrase ‘Happy Birthday’ against sugary color fields until the words seem to lose meaning, showing how easily joy can flatten into cliche.

Halvor Rönning
Untitled, 2024
Acrylic and soft-pastels-on-canvas

In Halvor Rönning’s work, the cover-up is often the real story. The Norwegian artist is known for painting over found figurative images from advertising and magazines in gestural acts of free association. In this acrylic and soft pastel work, Rönning’s reference image is buried beneath sweeping brushstrokes and broad fields of white and gray, leaving only small hints of the original to peek through. The result is an ethereal composition in which erasure is just as important as what remains.

Thierry de Cordier
GARDEN WRITING 223, 1990
Ink on paper

Between 1988 and 1991, Belgian artist Thierry de Cordier retreated to his overgrown garden and filled page after page with ink writings. At first, the texts were philosophical musings, or what he called a ‘gardening of the mind.’ Soon they became obsessive jottings of his every thought, scrawled so quickly that words dissolved into tangles, or ‘literary embroidery.’ Knotted with urgency, GARDEN WRITING 223 (1990) sits between the legible and the lost. At the bottom, one line remains clear: ‘Here, alone, I live with as little as possible, with the prospect of Nothingness.’

Marie Bracquemond
Sur la terrasse de la Chabane, c 1870–1885
Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard

When Marie Bracquemond began painting life in 19th-century France, the boulevards of Paris were largely closed to women. Bracquemond turned her attention closer to home, producing a prolific body of work that depicted domestic life. With luminous light and thick, painterly brushstrokes, Sur la terrasse de la Chabane (c. 1870–1885) exemplifies Bracquemond’s fondness for garden scenes. Long overshadowed by her male peers, Bracquemond is now celebrated as one of Impressionism’s ‘Three Great Ladies,’ alongside Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt.

Evelyn Taocheng Wang
Skull Motif of Georgia O’Keeffe and Imitation of Agnes Martin, 2025
Acrylic, pencil, pencil fixation medium, and gesso-on-linen canvas

For several years, Evelyn Taocheng Wang has been drawn to the serenity and restraint of Agnes Martin’s minimalist paintings. She’s also been testing their limits. In Wang’s Martin-inspired paintings, Minimalist purity is unsettled by imperfections, accidents, and personal perspective. In Skull Motif of Georgia O’Keeffe and Imitation of Agnes Martin (2025), Wang unites O’Keeffe’s floral and skeletal imagery with Martin’s disciplined lines, bringing together two touchstones of American Modernism that rarely meet.

Hector Hyppolite
Untitled (Maison de Campagne / Country House), c 1945–48
Ink on paper

Self-taught Haitian artist Hector Hyppolite (1894–1948) painted Voodou spirits, dreams, and island life with whatever materials he could find. In the 1940s, his work caught the attention of André Breton, who purchased five paintings before introducing him to an international audience. Subsequently hailed as the first Black Surrealist, Hyppolite remains celebrated for his dreamlike visions. This rare ink drawing, Untitled (Maison de Campagne / Country House) (c. 1945–48), offers a quieter, more intimate counterpoint to his vividly colorful paintings.

Arthur Jafa
HA Selfie, 2024
Silkscreen ink on aluminum panel

American artist Arthur Jafa has spent several decades probing how Black life is pictured, archived, and circulated. In his 1988 self-portrait Monster, he reclaimed an insult as a self-chosen title, seizing control of his own image. Three decades later, HA Selfie (2024) continues that thread: Jafa once again turns the camera on himself – this time enlarging an iPhone snapshot into silkscreen on aluminum, transforming fleeting self-documentation into something monumental.

Hugh Hayden
Juke Joint, 2025
Brass

American artist Hugh Hayden is known for transforming everyday objects to complicate their function – think school desks with branches bursting through their middles, dinner tables studded with thorns, or cast-iron skillets remolded as masks. He describes this as a ‘remixing’ of history, drawing out hidden tensions within familiar forms. Juke Joint (2025) comprises a brass vessel with two trumpets fused to either side, creating a tandem-like instrument that seems built for a duet, even as it defies real use.
