Contemporary Lynx is a proud media partner of the Art Basel Paris.
From 3 to 6 April 2025, Art Paris, the leading spring event for modern and contemporary art, is back with a bang at the Grand Palais, whose entirely renovated nave and balcony spaces will allow the fair to host 170 exhibitors from 25 different countries. At this edition, the fair’s events programme will be even more ambitious with new themes, exhibitions, prizes and panel discussions. The Art Paris VIP programme, a regular feature, provides a choice of 31 exhibition visits and tours reserved exclusively for guest collectors and art professionals, highlighting the effervescent Parisian cultural scene.
The 2025 selection embodies the unique identity of Art Paris, a fair that is both regional and cosmopolitan and, as ever, a place of artistic discovery.
The 2025 edition will be exploring two themes:
Immortal : A Focus on Figurative Painting in France by Amélie Adamo and Numa Hambursin
Writer and independent curator Amélie Adamo and Numa Hambursin, general director of MO.CO. (Montpellier Contemporain), will be pursuing their commitment to the French figurative scene at Art Paris 2025, having previously co-curated Immortal, an ambitious and groundbreaking panorama of young French figurative painting in 2023. Working from a selection of thirty artists chosen from the exhibiting galleries, the guest curator duo will present a new analysis that will take into account the historical context and compare artists from different generations.
Out of bounds by Simon Lamunière
For Out of Bounds, independent exhibition curator Simon Lamunière has selected 18 international artists from among the exhibiting galleries. He will be exploring contemporary creation as seen through the prism of multiethnicity and the hybridisation of forms and cultures, while addressing questions such as origins, gender, kinship, history and geography. His reflections will give rise to a themed visit and a catalogue presenting the work of each selected artist.
A strong 2025 edition featuring new themes, exhibitions and prizes.
