Overview
- The fair’s fourth edition runs October 24–26 at the Grand Palais, anchoring a week of citywide museum and foundation exhibitions in Paris.
- Hauser & Wirth reported selling a Gerhard Richter for about $23 million, White Cube placed a Julie Mehretu for $11.5 million, and Pace said a Modigliani sold near $10 million.
- The floor plan favors established galleries on the ground level, with curated Premise projects and an Emergence section for younger dealers on upper tiers.
- Emerging artists saw activity at accessible price bands, with Bank Gallery saying Duyi Han’s $2,700–$17,000 drawings in the Emergence section sold out.
- A tighter VIP invite cap of six per exhibitor drew mixed reactions as some reported a slow opening day before stronger sales on day two, and a leadership shift from Clément Delépine to Karim Crippa has been announced.
