Art Paris 2025: Out of Bounds

From 3-6 April 2025, Art Paris, the leading spring event for modern and contemporary art, is back with a bang at the Grand Palais, whose entirely renovated Nave and balcony spaces will allow the fair to host 170 exhibitors from 25 different countries (34 more than in 2024). At this edition, the fair’s events programme will be even more ambitious with new the- mes, exhibitions, prizes and panel discussions. The Art Paris VIP programme, a regular feature, provides a choice of 31 exhibition visits and tours reserved exclusively for guest collectors and art professionals, highlighting the effervescent Parisian cultural scene.

The 2025 selection embodies the unique identity of Art Paris, a fair that is both regional and cosmopolitan and, as ever, a place of artistic discovery: 60% of the exhibitors are from France with 40% of international galleries. Moreover, 36% of this edition’s participants are new to the fair. Such figures illustrate how Art Paris showcases the wealth and depth of the French gallery ecosystem, from big name international galleries to unique modern and contemporary art galleries around France. Art Paris is also committed to supporting young galleries, notably with Promises, the sector focussing on emerging artists. This year, Mennour, Semiose and Christian Berst will be joining regular exhibitors, such as Continua, Lelong, Loeven- bruck, Meessen, Nathalie Obadia, Michel Rein, Almine Rech and Templon, to name but a few.

New names are also joining the list of international galleries with the arrival of Sabrina Amrani (Madrid), Beck & Eggeling and Pasquer (Dusseldorf, Paris), Lange + Pult (Zurich, Geneva), Senda (Barcelona), Rüdiger Schöttle (Munich), Tang Contemporary (Bei- jing), Waddington-Custot (London), Wilde (Geneva) and W&K – Wienerroither & Kohlbacher (Vienna, New York), amongst others.

OUT OF BOUNDS BY SIMON LAMUNIÈRE

For Out of Bounds, independent exhibition curator Simon Lamunière has selected 18 in- ternational artists from among the exhibiting galleries. He will be exploring contemporary creation as seen through the prism of mul- tiethnicity and the hybridisation of forms and cultures, while addressing questions such as origins, gender, kinship, history and geogra- phy. His reflections will give rise to a themed visit and a catalogue presenting the work of each selected artist.
