Industry Relevance 

Art Paris Art Fair comes from humble beginnings as a fledgling art event held for the first time in 1999, which has since then become one of the most incisive and relevant fairs worldwide during its 25-year history. Run by France Conventions in tandem with the fair director Guillaume Piens, Art Paris Art Fair arrives each spring towards the end of March at the Grand Palais Ephemere opposite the Eiffel Tower. Its mission is to foster discovery especially outside the European art world and explore the ins and outs of modern and contemporary art.

A selection committee shapes the look, feel and message of each edition. For 2023, the committee includes Carina Andres Thalmann, Galerie Andres Thalmann (Zurich), Romain Degoul, Galerie Paris-B (Paris), Diane Lahumière, Galerie Lahumière (Paris), Marie-Ange Moulonguet, art consultant and collector, Emilie Ovaere-Corthay, Galerie Jean Fournier (Paris) and Pauline Pavec, Galerie Pauline Pavec (Paris). The committee is in charge of selecting the galleries and shows that will be featured, as well as guide the theme.
