ART BASEL PARIS 2024

Art Basel, Art Basel’s 2023 Edition in Paris

Art Basel 2024
The Grand Palais, Paris, France
October 18th-20th, 2024

Art Basel has announced the exhibitors and details of its 2024 edition. Art Basel Paris 2024 will be held from October 18-20, 2024, at the newly renovated Grand Palais in Paris, with VIP Preview Days on October 16-17. The show will feature 194 galleries from 42 countries, including 51 first-time participants and 64 French galleries.

The 2024 event introduces a new sector, Premise, and includes an ambitious public program across various locations in Paris. The initiative “Oh La La!” will highlight rarely-seen works from October 18-19 to energize the second half of the show.

Previously known as “Paris+ par Art Basel,” the renaming of the show to “Art Basel Paris” reflects a closer connection with the city’s cultural heritage and global stature in the art world. The rebrand enhances its identity and appeal both locally and internationally. This decision, made in consultation with local partners and cultural authorities including France’s Minister of Culture Rachida Dati, coincides neatly with the event’s move to the Grand Palais.

Known for its grandeur and architectural splendor, The Grand Palais is an iconic and historically significant exhibition venue in Paris. Inaugurated in 1900 for the Paris Universal Exposition, it has been a hub for cultural and artistic events for over a century. The building recently underwent three years of extensive renovations, making Art Basel Paris 2024 the first major event to be hosted in the space post-renovation.

Clément Delépine, the Director of Art Basel Paris, is leading the show for the third time. He has welcomed 40 additional galleries compared to the 2023 exhibit. Delépine has said,

“The impressive list of exhibitors participating in our 2024 show highlights the fair’s leading role as a dynamic platform for galleries, as well as Paris’ position as cornerstone of the global art market, bolstered by the city’s unparalleled offerings across the broader cultural field. Galleries are evidently prepared to bring exceptional works to the fair, and we look forward to creating the best possible environment for them, their clients, and our visitors. I am excited to welcome gallerists, artists, collectors, institutional representatives, and art enthusiasts to Art Basel Paris come October.”
