The 36th edition of FIAC reasserts
the strengths of the fair’s identity: its position in the
heart of Paris, the close ties it maintains with the protagonists of
the Parisian art scene; its generalist vocation manifested in the
presentation of a balanced panorama of modern art, contemporary art and
cuttingedge creation; its focus on different facets of artistic
activity, notably by means of the in-situ projects presented in the
Tuileries Gardens and in the cycle of artists’ performances
presented in collaboration with the Auditorium of the Louvre Museum ;
and its constantly reiterated ambition to reinforce both the selection
of the exhibiting galleries and the quality of the artworks on view.
Situated at each extreme of the chronological spectrum covered by the
fair, FIAC 2009 is distinguished by two important initiatives: At the
Grand Palais, a joint presentation of modern masterworks, presented by
- and on the initiative of - a group of 10 of the leading international
galleries in this field.
At the Cour Carrée of the Louvre, a new sector bringing
together 14 international galleries, remarkable for the quality of
their prospective programmes, presented with the support of the
Galeries Lafayette Group, official partner of FIAC 2009.
FIAC 2009 brings together 196 modern and contemporary art galleries,
from 21 different countries. 75 galleries or 39 % are from France; next
