Art Basel Paris 2026 expansion
Overview
The 2026 edition of Art Basel Paris is expanding its scope through new venues and collaborative programming. While the main fair remains at the Grand Palais, the event will extend to landmarks such as the Petit Palais, Palais d’Iéna, and the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine.
Key initiatives for the fair include the ‘Oh La La!’ program, featuring guest art director Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu and a ‘Myths and Legends’ theme, as well as the ‘Conversations’ series. The event will also host the ‘Freie Kunst’ edition of the Reference Festival, which moves from Berlin to a multi-city format to facilitate dialogue across art, fashion, music, and technology.
Public engagement will be bolstered by outdoor installations, including a free gallery at the Jardin de la Nouvelle-France featuring a sculpture by Mexican artist Boz Deseo Garden that addresses the history of slavery.
