Art Basel’s Paris+ Lines Up 154 Galleries for Upcoming Second Edition – ARTnews.com

Paris+ par Art Basel has named the 154 galleries that will take part in its upcoming second edition, scheduled to run October 20–22, with two VIP preview days beginning October 18 at the Grand Palais Éphémère.

Among the 140 galleries taking part in the main Galleries section are mega-galleries Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, Pace Gallery, and David Zwirner, as well as blue-chip enterprises like Blum & Poe, Sadie Coles HQ, Paula Cooper, Massimo De Carlo, Gladstone Gallery, Marian Goodman Gallery, Taka Ishii Gallery, David Kordansky Gallery, Galerie Lelong & Co., LGDR, Lisson Gallery, Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Thaddaeus Ropac, and White Cube.

In addition to the Galleries section, Paris+ will feature a Galeries Émergentes section, which will feature 14 emerging galleries mounting solo artist presentations. Among the galleries in that section are Bank, Lyles & King, Marfa’, and Seventeen, as well as two Paris galleries, Parliament and Sans Titre.

Fifty-eight of the exhibitors have locations in France, with 30 of them having their operations wholly based in the country. Among the French galleries taking part are Air de Paris, Balice Hertling, Galerie Chantal Crousel, Galerie Frank Elbaz, Fitzpatrick Gallery, Loevenbruck, Mennour, and Sultana. Additionally, four galleries that participated in the Galeries Émergentes section last year have been elevated to the main section: Antenna Space, Galerie Anne Barrault, Carlos/Ishikawa, and Edouard Montassut.

The fair will also include 16 galleries that will participate for the first time, including Bortolami, Kurimanzutto, Jan Mot, and P.P.O.W. Three of them are taking part in their first Art Basel fair: Fanta-MLN, Felix Gaudlitz, and Gianni Manhattan, who will all be included in the Galeries Émergentes section.

Last year, Art Basel made headlines when it announced it would mount a new fair in Paris that takes place every year in October, which is normally when the reigning French fair, FIAC, mounts its edition each year. Art Basel won the contract for the Grand Palais from FIAC, which ended up not mounting a 2022 edition as a result. This iteration at the Grand Palais Éphémère is expected to be the fair’s last there, as the Grand Palais will reopen after renovations in preparation for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

Clément Delépine, the director of Paris+ par Art Basel, said in a statement, “The 2023 show will confirm the defining features of Paris+ par Art Basel: a wealth of exceptional works by Modern and contemporary artists, a high density of precisely conceived presentations, a commitment to the French gallery community, and a lively Galeries Émergentes sector in tune with contemporary discourse, supported generously by the Galeries Lafayette group.”
