Top Picks from Art Basel Paris

by Anna Russ // Oct. 18, 2024

For its inaugural edition, Art Basel Paris takes place in the newly-renovated Grand Palais, in the heart of the French capital. This year, 195 galleries from 42 countries and territories, including 53 first-time participants and 64 galleries operating spaces in France are participating in the fair. Art Basel Paris is structured across three exhibition sectors: ‘Galeries’—in which exhibitors present the full breadth of their program;’Emergence,’ dedicated to emerging galleries and artists; and the newly introduced ‘Premise’ sector, featuring nine galleries presenting curatorial proposals that may include work made before 1900. In addition, the Public Program, realized in collaboration with the city’s leading cultural institutions, takes place in 10 different spaces across the city. Among these, the Petit Palais hosts a project by Jesse Darling—presented by Arcadia Missa, Chapter NY, Molitor and Sultana. We visited the preview and compiled a few photos to give you a glimpse into Art Basel Paris.
