Art Basel Paris 2026: a New Chapter with Paris as the Main Protagonist
For its fifth edition, Art Basel Paris, led by new Director Karim Crippa, places Paris at the heart of the fair as an essential part of its artistic and cultural identity. Bringing together 211 leading international galleries, including 64 exhibitors operating spaces in France, the 2026 edition reflects the depth of Paris’ gallery ecosystem while extending the fair’s presence into the city’s museums, institutions, public spaces, and creative communities.
