Grand Palais Éphémère, 2 Pl. Joffre
Paris France
Following its selection in January by the R̩union des mus̩es nationaux РGrand Palais as organizer of a new contemporary and Modern art fair in the iconic Grand Palais of Paris, Art Basel is delighted to announce the name, leadership team, and Selection Committee for the show.
The name Paris+, par Art Basel celebrates the city’s premier standing as a cultural epicenter and reflects Art Basel’s ambition to create a flagship event that radiates throughout Paris, highlighting the dynamic dialogue between its cultural industries – from fashion and design to film and music.
Paris+, par Art Basel will be led by Director Clément Delépine, the former co-director of Paris Internationale, General Manager Virginie Aubert, who was previously Vice President for Christie’s France, and Deputy Director Maxime Hourdequin, who recently served as FIAC’s deputy director.
The team, which will be based in Paris as a part a newly established French entity, will spearhead the fair’s launch and build close relationships with galleries, collectors, artists, museums, and institutions in the French capital and beyond. In addition, Jennifer Flay, the long-term Director of FIAC (Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain) will join the Paris+, par Art Basel team in March 2023 as President of the fair’s Advisory Board.
‘Even before my appointment, I welcomed the news of Art Basel’s selection to stage a new fair in Paris,’ says Director Delépine. ‘The Art Basel team is committed to the highest standards of excellence, and I am immensely honored and humbled by the trust placed in me. I look forward to collaborating with the entire ecosystem of galleries, institutions, creative, and cultural industries here in Paris to create a magnetic event for the city and the world.’
The Selection Committee for the fair will comprise leading representatives from the French and international gallery scene: Florence Bonnefous, Air de Paris, Paris; Ellen de Bruijne, Ellen de Bruijne Projects, Amsterdam; Daniel Buchholz, Galerie Buchholz, Cologne, Berlin, New York; Anton Kern, Anton Kern Gallery, New York City; Niklas Svennung, Galerie Chantal Crousel, Paris; Georges-Philippe Vallois, Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois, Paris; and Christophe Van de Weghe, Van de Weghe, New York. The experts for younger galleries are Isabelle Alfonsi, Marcelle Alix, Paris; Mark Dickenson, Neue Alte Brücke, Frankfurt; and Simone Subal, Simone Subal Gallery, New York.
Frieze Masters was founded in 2012 by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover. Nathan Clements-Gillespie is Frieze Masters' Artistic Director.
Frieze Masters offers a unique contemporary perspective on thousands of years of art history, from collectible objects to significant masterpieces from the ancient era and Old Masters to the late 20th century. The 2021 edition of the fair showcases over 130 of the most significant galleries from around the world.
The fair takes place in The Regent's Park in the heart of London, in an elegant, contemporary environment designed by renowned architect Annabelle Selldorf, benefiting from natural light and avoiding the atmosphere of a trade show. World-leading independent curators advise on feature sections for 20th-century art and focussed presentations of historical art and objects. The relationship between historical art and contemporary practice is further explored through the acclaimed Frieze Masters Talks programme, which was curated in 2020 by Nicholas Cullinan (National Portrait Gallery, London).
This year, Frieze Masters will introduce a new section called Stand Out, curated by Luke Syson (Director of Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge), which will bring together art objects from across the ages that are great works of design, of sculptural and conceptual brilliance. Stand Out looks beyond hierarchical distinctions between works of art in different media, and in doing so reconsiders art objects often termed ‘decorative’ or ‘functional.’ The celebrated Spotlight section will also return. Dedicated to pioneers of avant-garde art from across the world, and overseen by Laura Hoptman (Executive Director of The Drawing Center, New York), Spotlight will feature solo presentations of work by overlooked figures and rarely seen practices by modern masters.
Frieze Masters coincides with and is within walking distance of its sister fair, Frieze London, in The Regent’s Park. Frieze London focuses on contemporary art and living artists, showing work created mainly post-2000 whereas Frieze Masters presents work made before the year 2000. Connecting Frieze Masters and Frieze London, Frieze Sculpture is a free display of major outdoor works located in The Regent’s Park’s English Gardens at the south end of The Broadwalk. Clare Lilley, Director of Programme at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, will again select and place the works in Frieze Sculpture 2021. Frieze Sculpture is free and open to all from 14 September until the end of October.
Each year, we have over 60,000 visitors to Frieze Masters and Frieze London combined. These visitors include those with an interest in the art world, such as curators, artists, collectors, gallerists and critics, as well as the general public. Some visit as first-time collectors of art whilst others view the fair more as an exhibition, enjoying the experience as a cultural day out.
Understanding the need for independent artists to self-promote, Clio Art Fair provides ever-expanding access to the NY curatorial and art market scene. Clio Art Fair, in its 8 years of existence, is earnestly working to carry out its mission: empowering independent artists, allowing them to make their voices heard, and helping them to become aware of their own creativity, as well as commercial potential. Clio Art Fair was born with the particular ambition to offer twice a year a professional international group show made up of artists who do not have an exclusive representation with any NY art gallery.
The art fair project, born on the fifth floor of the Wolf Building in Chelsea in 2014, has outgrown its original digs in Chelsea, and graduated to a street-level space, beginning from the March 2018 edition. This move, as expected, is helping to guarantee greater exposure, more visitors, a higher percentage of sales, and basically, more of everything than the first editions. For the last three years, Clio moved into a contemporary luxury building at 55 W 29th street, in Chelsea. Clio Art Fair was born to challenge traditional art market methodologies.
The primary goal is to create a space for direct dialogue between artists and collectors, artists and curators without the presence of any long-term mediator. The fair focuses on valorizing artworks while respecting and highlighting their role within the architectural spaces they inhabit. Adding to the innovative nature of our vision, Clio is the first art fair to accept the primary crypto-values as a form of payment: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, since 2017.

An undervalued artist sells his own NFT artwork for $85 and the collector promptly relists the piece for $2.8 million.
It seems like every day we hear another story about how an NFT artwork becomes an overnight sensation. An original NFT artwork by Allan Linder was sold for 0.03 ETH (roughly $85 USD at that time) to a collector in Canada and promptly relisted for sale by the collector for $2.8 million. This undervalued artist was new to the market and the value of his own work online.
The artist previously sold out several of his crypto art collections but this one was unexpected.
The NFT artwork titled "Getting There" was created as part of a series in The Unforgiving City Collection.
The Unforgiving City is an NFT collection based on Allan Linder's original Cityscape paintings. Each piece is scanned at a stunning 4k resolution and digitally painted over the original. The digitally enhanced artwork is then animated with 20 to 100 animated cells, then they are stacked, stabilized, and an original music score is added.
Linder combines real-world artwork with digital compositions that fuse texture from painting on canvas with motion animation and digital paint. Some of Linder's work is described as "Living Paintings."
Allan Linder is a multi-disciplined, award-winning artist with 25 years of experience painting, drawing storyboards for film and television, character design, animation, and illustration.
Like an acronym, the letters that form the word ORVIS introduce us to a word whose meaning speaks of excessive energy and intuition, power and emotional turbulence. It talks about the information that wanders between the realm of the archetype and the relative world; about ideas, thoughts, understanding and rational knowledge.
Conceived as a poetic, impressive and intimate show, ORVIS, GalerÃa Azur’s new exhibition in Madrid, brings together a group of artists under a constellation of ideas, aesthetics and narratives to visualize new connections and propose visual responses, raised from perspectives – even erratic-, that reflect on the current view of art.
Lines, strokes, spots, shapes, cold and warm color palettes; complex compositions that refer to decoration, commemoration and contradiction. Works loaded with symbolism, with codes that need an aesthetic
appreciation, and seem to be references to strange but close subjectivities, like traditions from a nearby but unknown place.
Within the selected works, and in reference to the exhibition’s name, the pieces are presented as an intellectual laboratory that promotes contemporary art with new manifestations in a spontaneous, casual, and transparent way.

Look at this image of a bombed-out city in Ukraine, what purpose does it serve? NONE! Except for the killing of innocent civilians and destroying all property associated with them. This is not right! Stop War! There must be a better answer than senseless violence.
Most of us feel utterly powerless in
the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But, while buying a painting, a
print, or NFT may not be at the forefront of your mind right now, some artists,
auction houses, galleries, and online platforms are selling art, via various
methods, to help the aid effort in Ukraine.
We stand for the same purpose:
to send concrete help to people currently suffering due to the war in Ukraine.

Pure Art. Pure Power.
