Every spring, ART PARIS 2020 brings together some 150 galleries from twenty different countries in an art fair that combines a regional exploration of European art from the post-war period to the present day with a cosmopolitan approach to art from other geographical horizons: Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
Alongside the main programme, the fair will present a critical and subjective overview of the French scene with a selection of 20 artists curated by Gaël Charbau around the notions of narrative, singular and universal stories, while a focus, led by Carolina Grau, will explore the identity and diversity of four cities, Barcelona, Lisbon, Madrid and Porto, with a selection of galleries and artists and parallel projects, such as video programme, conferences, specific installations, illustrating the artistic awakening of Spain and Portugal.
In addition, Art Paris encourages the presentation of monographic exhibitions while supporting young galleries and emerging artists within the “Promises” sector.
Making contemporary art accessible to all
Art Paris is dedicated to making contemporary art accessible to the widest audience, offering some 80 guided tours of the fair as well as a number of specific tools, in particular its elaborate yet eminently practical website which presents a virtual visit of the fair and filters allowing visitors to search for works by artist, price, geographical provenance and technique
