Paris Biennale takes over the Grand Palais, from the 8th to the 16th of September

While celebrating its 30th birthday, the Paris Biennale won’t be looking in the rear-view mirror, so as not to be left in the past – even if it is an extremely prestigious one. The 2018 edition is a major event in its history. It also gives the Biennale the chance to reinvent itself by responding to the new realities of the art market, and so merit the trust shown by exhibitors, galleries and visitors.

Paris Biennale, an unmissable rendez-vous at the Grand Palais

This event will be held in the setting of the Grand Palais until 2020, and will be accorded far more space than previously. An undertaking which will enable exhibition of more furniture, paintings, monumental sculptures and rare objects, while showing off the sublime decor which will welcome a gala dinner of 800 guests among exceptional works of art.

A unique fair dedicated to all the arts

Now an annual event, this heritage salon is looking to the future with international buyers in its sights. It is adapting too to the needs of new generations of passionate art-lovers who blithely mix, in one space, different styles, periods, contemporary art, decorative arts, ethnographic arts and design. An appointment to make a note of on your iPad without delay…
