Paris’s premier art event reimagines itself in an iconic new setting, blending modernity, history, and artistic excellence.
From October 23 to 26, 2025, Moderne Art Fair will unfurl its vibrant tapestry of modern and contemporary art at Paris’s storied Place de la Concorde, a locale as grand as the event’s ambitions. This new chapter for the fair, formerly known as Art Élysées, promises to captivate collectors, connoisseurs, and curious amateurs alike with over sixty French and international galleries showcasing a meticulously curated selection of works. The fair’s reimagined architectural layout, featuring a doubled central aisle, ensures a seamless and immersive experience, allowing visitors to navigate the sprawling showcase with ease while soaking in its eclectic offerings.
A Dialogue Across Time and Medium
Moderne Art Fair 2025 is poised to be a dynamic convergence of art modern, contemporary creations, and cutting-edge design. The fair’s rigorous selection process, overseen by a newly formed artistic committee, guarantees a panorama of works that are as thought-provoking as they are visually arresting. This committee, a veritable who’s-who of the art world, includes luminaries such as Lumir Ardant, David-Hervé Boutin, Pierre Cornette de Saint-Cyr, Baudoin Lebon, Julia Muuls, David Nahmad, Blaise Parinaud, Pierre Vasarely, and Diane Venet. Their collective expertise ensures that the fair remains a beacon of quality and relevance, fostering a dialogue that bridges established masters and emerging talents.
The fair’s inclusive ethos welcomes a broad audience, from seasoned collectors to those simply seeking an emotional connection with art. Through innovative exhibitions and partnerships with forward-thinking institutions, Moderne Art Fair creates a space where discovery and meaning intertwine, inviting visitors to engage with works that challenge, inspire, and delight.
A Photographic Odyssey from the Préchiantz Collection
A highlight of this year’s fair is an unprecedented exhibition drawn from the private collection of Jérôme Préchiantz, dedicated entirely to the art of photography. This showcase weaves together rare and unseen works by grand masters with fresh perspectives from rising stars, offering a journey through the medium’s rich history and boundless potential. The collection’s eclectic yet sensitive curation promises to captivate, presenting a fresh lens on the interplay of light, shadow, and narrative. It’s an invitation to see the world anew, where every frame tells a story both timeless and urgent.
A Legacy of Accessibility and Ambition
Since its inception as Art Élysées, Moderne Art Fair has championed an approach that balances accessibility with uncompromising quality. The 2025 edition doubles down on this mission, creating a platform that fosters discovery, reflection, and lasting connections among artists, galleries, and collectors. Set against the majestic backdrop of Place de la Concorde, the fair’s ambitious scenography elevates the experience, transforming the temporary pavilions into a stage for artistic excellence. Open to the public daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. (closing at 6 p.m. on Sunday, October 26), the fair is poised to be a cultural touchstone of the Parisian autumn.
