Paris Biennale

Good sales and happy exhibitors as France’s showpiece fair moves from November to mid-September

An Asian armour dealer sold nearly all of his stand’s stock in the first few days of FAB Paris last week.

For its fourth edition, 'FAB Paris', the premier French art fair that unites 'Biennale des Antiquaires' and 'Fine Arts Paris', brings a wealth of top exhibitors, special exhibitions and a new date.

Among the opening sales at the FAB Paris fair at the newly restored Grand Palais was this Sicilian Baroque polychrome and gilt wood sculpture group of the Annunciation.

The latest edition of FAB Paris (Fine Arts La Biennale) takes place in the French capital from November 22-27.

Second edition of the event involving two combined fairs benefits from extra space at new venue

Over 17,000 visitors including representatives from French and foreign museums, major collectors and decorators attended the first staging of the newly merged fair Fine Arts Paris & La Biennale.

The exhibitors’ list has been announced for the French fair that has evolved from the merger of two Paris events.

The French fairs calendar has developed a certain rhythmical repetition over the years but this has been changed as Covid restrictions necessitate cancellations and postponements.

La Biennale fair opens in Paris this week at the Grand Palais Ephémère and runs from November 26-December 5.

TEFAF Maastricht 2021 has been cancelled due to the ongoing effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

A new art and antiques fair is being planned for the end of November to replace the Paris Biennale (Biennale des Antiquaires).

Launched in 1956, La Biennale des Antiquaires, now an annual event known as La Biennale Paris, is one of the world’s longest-established and best-known art and antiques fairs.

La Biennale Paris has proposed that potential exhibitors may spread payment of their participation fees out over four months after the event.

'La Biennale Paris' and 'Parcours des Mondes' bring the dealing scene in the French capital back to life after summer slumbers, while auction houses also rise to the occasion. We take an early glimpse at what will be on offer for the visitor in September.
