Following VIP preview days on October 16 and 17, Art Basel Paris 2024 is ready to stage its public return to the French capital for a third edition, where it is expected to welcome some 40,000 international visitors between today and Sunday, October 20. Leaving its original moniker, Paris+, behind to become an integral extension of Art Basel's global network of art fairs, this year's event gathers 194 galleries from 42 countries, including 51 newcomers, in a multidisciplinary exploration of contemporary and modern creative landscapes.
Hosted within the breathtaking, freshly revamped Grand Palais, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées landmark built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900 and designated a historic monument in 2000, Art Basel Paris 2024 will feature three sections: the Galeries, dedicated to affirmed art institutions; Emergence, platforming rising talents; and Premise, presenting nine curatorial projects that take a revisionist approach to the historical art canon, integrating voices who have been previously excluded from, or overlooked within, the dominant aesthetic discourse.
