The organizers of Art Basel Paris have revealed the 206 galleries, collectively representing forty-one countries and territories, set to participate in this year’s iteration of the fair. Returning to the iconic Grand Palais, the event will take place October 23–25, with preview days October 21–22. This will be the first edition to take place under the direction of Karim Crippa, who replaced the fair’s inaugural director, Clément Délepine last fall, after Délepine decamped for the Paris nonprofit Lafayette Anticipations.
Among the participants are nearly thirty first-timers, including Hong Kong’s Empty Gallery, Dubai’s Green Art Gallery; the Berlin-based ChertLüdde and Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler; and, from New York, Olney Gleason and the newly formed Pace Di Donna Schrader Galleries.
French galleries will have a strong presence this year, with more than sixty participating. Among their ranks are Almine Rech, Galerie Chantal Crousel, Crèvecœur, galerie frank elbaz, Galerie Lelong, Mennour, mor Charpentier, and Perrotin.
Returning heavy hitters include Gagosian, Gladstone Gallery, Marian Goodman Gallery, Hauser & Wirth, kurimanzutto, Mendes Wood DM, Pace Gallery, Thaddaeus Ropac, White Cube, and David Zwirner.
As it was last year, the event will be divided into three sectors. The main sector, Galeries, will host 181 galleries, up from 177 last year. Emergence, which welcomes young galleries and solo artist presentations, will again feature 16 galleries, while Premise, which centers thematic presentations and historical works, will feature nine.
Of note, a dozen galleries paired up to share booths this year, among them London’s Nicoletti, and Seventeen; the Tokyo-based Tina Kim and Take Ninagawa; and New York’s Michael Rosenfeld Gallery and the Los Angeles–and New York–based Jeffrey Deitch.
Crippa in a statement affirmed that “joint booths have become fixtures” at the event. Acknowledging that the choice to collaborate often stemmed from financial concerns, he pointed out that collaboration offered galleries the opportunity to “build a genuine curatorial dialogue around the artists to create something more layered and unexpected,” further noting that “the resulting presentation becomes greater than the sum of its parts.”
