11th Modern + Contemporary Art Fair
artparis 2009
Grand Palais – Paris
March 19 – 23, 2009
Since its inception, artparis has become the most anticipated art fair of the early spring season. Keeping abreast of the times, it has continued to develop a more cutting-edge and international character, representative of today’s art market.
FOCUS ON ARTPARIS 2009:
130 exhibitors will present an exciting panorama of the artistic creation of the 20th and 21st centuries under the elegant glass dome of the historic Grand Palais in Paris, showcasing a wide variety of media from painting, drawing and sculpture to photo, installation and video.
- artparis Photography
Created in 2008, this dedicated section of the fair will be consolidated. 15 international galleries specializing in contemporary photography will present the latest trends.
- artparis Young Talent
15 young international galleries will participate in this new section, dedicated to the most innovative young artists of today.
This year, artparis will welcome the prestigious Daniel and Florence Guerlain Prize for Contemporary Drawing. Work by the three short-listed candidates will be on view at the fair (names to be announced in December).
As the crossroads of several artistic trends, artparis has proven itself to be a cultural melting pot where artists, gallerists, collectors and even less experienced visitors can feed their passion for modern and contemporary art and satisfy their curiosity for the world we live in.
We look forward to seeing you there!
