Art Basel has announced the leading galleries participating in its 2026 edition in Paris, the first to be directed by Karim Crippa. The fair will bring together more than 200 exhibitors from 41 countries and territories across the Galeries, Emergence, and Premise sectors.
The 2026 edition will mark the fifth iteration of Art Basel Paris at the Grand Palais, with nearly 30 galleries joining the fair for the first time. Organizers highlight a strong representation of galleries operating in France, underscoring the depth of the French gallery ecosystem and its role in shaping the fair’s identity.
A record number of collaborative presentations between galleries is planned, reflecting increased experimentation with formats and curatorial dialogue across the fair. The Public Program will return in partnership with leading Parisian institutions, with Miu Miu serving as Official Partner for the program.
Key initiatives include Oh La La!, the fair’s signature rehang, scheduled for October 23 and 24 under the direction of a guest collaborator from outside the art world, and Avant-Premiere, an invitation-only preview for galleries and their principal clients, returning for its second edition on October 20. Art Basel Paris will run from October 23 to 25, 2026, with Preview Days on October 21 and 22 and a public Vernissage on October 22.
