The second edition of Art Basel Paris at the iconic Grand Palais promises to be a top-tier art event, featuring 203 exhibitors from 40 countries, an ambitious Public Program, and the return of “Oh La La!”. Once again, the show underlines Paris’ role as a global center for art and innovation.
Art Basel has revealed the participating galleries and initial highlights for this year’s edition of its Paris fair. From October 24 to 26, 2025, Art Basel Paris will bring together 203 exhibitors from 40 countries and territories at the Grand Palais – including 25 newcomers from Europe, Asia, North and South America.
More than a third of the participating galleries operate permanent spaces in Paris, reflecting not only the city's vibrant art scene but also its central role in the international art market. The fair sees itself as a platform for visionary galleries, cross-border collaborations, and bold curatorial experiments.
"The list of galleries participating in our 2025 show fills me with pride, excitement, and gratitude. The exceptional quality of this year's projects is powerful proof of Art Basel Paris’ magnetism - and of the central role Paris and France continue to play on the global art market and the world of culture at large."

We owe it to our galleries, visitors, and partners to deliver a stellar show, cementing its place as the cultural calendar’s unmissable Fall event, and we look forward to working towards this goal", says Clément Delépine, Director of Art Basel Paris.
Alongside the three main sectors – Galeries, Emergence, and Premise – the Public Program returns with a wide range of institutional collaborations. A highlight will be a curated exhibition in the Jardin des Tuileries, organized in partnership with the Musée du Louvre and curated by Mouna Mekouar. Fashion house Miu Miu will once again serve as Official Partner.
Another highlight will be “Oh La La!”, Art Basel Paris' creative rehang format. On October 24 and 25, galleries will be invited to present rarely seen or particularly surprising works inspired by a unifying thematic prompt.
Art Basel Paris is supported by a distinguished group of partners – including UBS, BMW, Samsung, Guerlain, Audemars Piguet, as well as the City of Paris and major institutions such as the Louvre, Petit Palais, and Beaux-Arts de Paris.
With an extensive cultural program spanning the entire city – from the Fondation Louis Vuitton and the Musée d'Orsay to the Bourse de Commerce – the fair will once again become the cultural hub of the Parisian autumn.
Art Basel Paris will take place from October 24 to 26, 2025, forming the centerpiece of an event-filled week of high-caliber exhibitions, cultural events, and opportunities to connect. VIP Preview Days will be held on Wednesday, October 22 and Thursday, October 23. A publicly accessible Vernissage will take place on the afternoon of October 23.
