Paris+ par Art Basel is distinguished by its curatorial rigor and international scope. The fair presents blue-chip galleries alongside forward-thinking contemporary spaces, offering a panoramic view of modern and contemporary art across painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and new media.

Unlike traditional commercial fairs, Paris+ emphasizes context and narrative. Many presentations are curated specifically for the Paris edition, responding to the city’s intellectual, historical, and architectural environment. This approach elevates the fair from a marketplace to a cultural event with lasting influence.

Beyond the main fair, Paris+ par Art Basel activates the entire city through an extensive off-site program. Museums, public spaces, historic landmarks, and independent venues host exhibitions, performances, and site-specific installations that extend the fair’s impact well beyond its walls.

This city-wide integration creates a rare synergy between institutional culture and the commercial art world, reinforcing Paris’s role as a living museum and contemporary laboratory at the same time.
