What Art Basel Paris is
Art Basel Paris is the French edition of Art Basel, bringing leading galleries, artists, collectors and institutions together at the Grand Palais. The 2026 fair takes place from 23 to 25 October, preceded by invitation and preview days earlier in the week.
The fifth edition brings together 211 exhibitors from 41 countries and territories. The fair is organised across three sectors: Galeries, presenting established international gallery programmes; Emergence, focused on emerging galleries and artists; and Premise, dedicated to distinctive curatorial proposals and historically focused presentations.
The fair itself is only one part of the week. Art Basel's Public Program extends into museums, institutions and public spaces around Paris, while galleries, foundations, exhibitions and events across the city create a much broader art week around the Grand Palais.
