The “Galeries” sector showcases the full breadth of participating galleries, offering various artistic expressions. Notable galleries such as Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, and White Cube will present works that challenge and inspire.

The newly introduced “Premise” sector will feature highly singular curatorial proposals, with presentations that may include works dating back before 1900. This eclectic mix of historical and contemporary art provides a comprehensive view of the evolving art landscape.
Highlighting notable participants
This year, Art Basel Paris will showcase the talents of over 190 galleries from 42 countries.
