Modern art : the comeback in Paris
A new event in Paris brings
together artists from twenty-five different countries at the Grand Palais.
Contempory art is the whole of works from 1945 to the present day. It’s the grouping of different aesthetic practices ; especially in the estate of plastic arts. Contempory art can be defined with many hypotheses because it includes many styles and artistic movements. This can reflect societal, political and artistic transformations. Firstly, contemporaneity is a historical notion that emerged at the end of the Second World War. Next, we can also think that contempory art began in the sixties thanks to the arrival of pop art which marked the break with modern art. There are many artists who represent this, like Andy Warhol who is the icon because he is the creator of the famous picture “Campbell’s Soup Cans”. Other artists are known for contemporary art for example Sarah Brahim and Ugo Schiavi.
Andy Warhol, Sarah Brahim and Ugo Schiavi To exhibit contemporary and modern art, a recent event, which will take place from April 3 to 6, 2025, will be help in Paris, France. This will be the 27th edition of Art Paris, which will be hosted at the Grand Palace after four years of renovation. 170 exhibitors and more than 900 artists will be gathered at Art Paris. Numerous themes will be proposed, such as “Immortal, a look at painting” and “Out of bounds”. At this exhibition there will be 60 % French exhibitors and 40 % foreign exhibitors, including South Africa, Belgium, Canada, China, Kuwait, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong, Guatemala, Singapore and Slovakia.
For the first time, the City of Paris is partnering with Art Paris, with a stand dedicated to the Fonds d’art contemporain :
The only public collection exhibited among the galleries present at the fair.
The City of Paris collection boasts a rich collection of nearly 23,500 works dating from the late 19th century to the present day, which is enriched annually as part of the municipal policy of supporting creative actors.
During the fair, the Fonds d’art contemporain – Paris Collections will present a selection of works from its collections that resonate with the figurative theme of Art Paris. Several well-known themes and artists will be featured, such as Saudi-American artist Sarah Brahim and French artist Ugo Schiavi, who will present their collaborative work entitled "NEUMA, La Cérémonie Oubliée." This installation will mark the culmination of their participation in the Villa Hegra residency program. These works were created during a year-long residency at Villa Hegra, in the heart of the exceptional archaeological and natural site of Al-Ula, Saudi Arabia. Also featured will be Simon Lamunière who explores contemporary creation through the prism of crossbreeding, the hybridization of forms and cultures, and the back-and-forth between origins, gender, kinship, history, and geography. Entitled "Out of Limits," its theme will lead to a thematic journey within the exhibition.
Art Paris aims to make contemporary art accessible to a wider audience.
- A space dedicated to young galleries and emerging creation with 25 galleries, 59 % of which are foreign.
- 26 monographic exhibitions, offering an in-depth look at modern and contemporary artists.
- The BNP Paribas Private Banking Prize, rewarding a French performing artist with a prize of 40,000 euros.
- The Her Art Prize, initiated by Marie Claire and Boucheron, promotes the work of female artists with a prize of 30,000 euros.
