During the last five years, Art Élysées (From October 18 to 22, 2012) has stood out as a must-attend event on modern and contemporary art, even when it comes to facing the challenge represented by sharing time and space with the most experienced FIAC.
With its venue at Champs- Élysées avenue, and a modest selection that includes nearly sixty galleries for this event, Art Élysées has focused its efforts in ostensibly improving the quality of exhibitions, looking for balance between the most effective elements in marketing terms and proposals that amaze and “mobilize” casual viewers as well as collectors or specialists. In that sense, although a relation has been kept with exhibition spaces that target modern art, its organizers have worked most of the time with the contemporary, creating space for this approach to art from the second half of the 20th century.
The Fair is directly linked to Design Élysées, in its third edition, with an exhibition of furniture and objects from the 20th century. They complement each other, and offer viewers the opportunity to have an involving outlook on yesterday’s and today’s visual world.
Art Élysées undoubtedly contributes with its own glow to the vivacious cultural panorama of the French capital in October.
