artparis 2006

For its eighth season, artparis will be the first fair to take place in the Grand-Palais since reopening. This year will also by the second time artparis takes place in the Spring, a change of date which already brought on board a number of galleries of considerable in importance in 2005. For the 2006 season, the prestige of the Grand- Palais has improved the fair’s general status, especially with regard to the preceding season, by a participation which has increased by 50% of French and foreign galleries. The strong presence of foreign participants is affirmed by the fact that 30% of the galleries exposing hail from abroad. However, notwithstanding the total of 108 participating galleries, artparis will still maintain the air of conviviality that has always characterized it. This very Parisian fair, which has managed to cultivate a dedicated public over the years, has come to likewise establish itself as a formidable event in the European art market, while being, the first event of the calendar year in the French art scene!

More international Among the forty new galleries new to this year’s artparis, almost half of them come from abroad. Spain has made quite an entry with Colon XVI, Nieves Fernandez, Metta, Guillermo de Osma, Pelaires and Punto. Germany is equally well represented by Lumas, Georg Nothelfer, Sfeir-Semler, Tanit and Voelker + Freunde, with a total of 9 participants. Italy will bring two new participants Arte Contini and Alessandro Bagnai to make a total of 5 Italian galleries. Switzerland will also add two new galleries, Alice Pauli and Renée Ziegler for a total of 3 participants, just like New York with Sophie Scheidecker and Michel Soskine, to also make a total of 3 American galleries, without forgetting Ernst Hilger from Vienna, the Finnish gallery Forsblom, and the Belgian Maruani & Noirhomme.

A stronger-than-ever French presence Conserving its identity and spirit, the fair will present a preponderance of pictorial work dating from 1910 to contemporary art. Among the new participants, work, which one could qualify as “contemporary classics” will be able to be admired at the Galerie de France, Lelong, Daniel Templon, Patrice Trigano, Enrico Navarra, Jean Brolly and Dina Vierny. The most recent creations can be seen at Gilles Peyoulet, Pixi, Catherine Putman, La Réserve, Nathalie Seroussi, Sollertis, Daniel Varenne and Lara Vincy. The presence of photography will be no less strongly felt in the programming of Acte 2, Camera Obscura, Françoise Paviot, and Esther Woerdehoff.
