The selection of galleries for 2014 goes one step further towards confirming the event’s new identity and direction adopted three years ago: a European fair that explores Eastern lands (Central Europe, Middle East and Asia.) Alongside the galleries that came as part of last year’s invitation to Russia as guest of honour, a number of galleries are coming in response to the invitation of China this year. Several Asian galleries are also joining such as Hua Gallery (London), Adler Subhashok Gallery (Bangkok) and 313 Art Project (Seoul). Although Art Paris Art Fair is becoming increasingly international (50% of foreign galleries

Although Art Paris Art Fair is becoming increasingly international (50% of foreign galleries this year compared to 43% in 2013), the fair remains committed to supporting those who constitute its foundations in Europe and France where it is deeply anchored. Among the new participants are Feizi (Brussels), Ditesheim & Maffei Fine Art (Neuchâtel), Alessandro Bagnai (Florence) as well as Mario Mauroner (Vienna) who returns to the fair this year. Among the French, Camera Obscura, Bertrand Grimont are returning while others are coming for the first time, including Françoise Besson (Lyon), In Camera (Paris), Françoise Livinec (Paris), and in the design section, Jousse Entreprise (Paris), Armel Soyer (Paris) and Galerie NeC nilsson et chiglien (Paris).

Celebrating 50 years Franco-Chineserelations : China guest of Honour

With some 90 Chinese modern and contemporary artists represented, ART PARIS ART FAIR turns the spotlight on what is a rich and dynamic art scene. Different generations of artists will be shown by ten galleries that are coming from Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong (Xin Dong Cheng, Ifa gallery, 10 Chancery Lane, Blindspot…), as well as 20 or so Western galleries such as A2Z Art Gallery, Paris-Beijing, Loft, Daniel Templon… This edition of the fair is also a reminder that many Chinese artists choose to live in Paris such as Zao Wou Ki (Galeri Bogéna) and Chu Teh Chun (Galerie Patrice Trigano) both of whom are close to lyrical abstraction. There is also Wang Keping (Galerie Zürcher and 10 Chancery Lane), the founder of the famous “Star” group, and Nobel prize winning artist and writer Gao Xingjian to whom Galerie Claude Bernard is dedicating its booth at the fair.

ART BOOKS FLAMMARION BOOKSHOPIn collaboration with the Art and Coffee Table section of the French national book publishers’ union and Flammarion Bookshop in Paris, ART PARIS ART FAIR has dedicated a specific space for art and artists’ books with some 30 publishers taking part.
