Fine Arts Paris
The international fine arts fair, from Antiquity to the present day, at the Grand Palais
2026
About Fine Arts Paris
Fine Arts Paris, formerly known as FAB Paris, is an international fine arts fair that brings together around a hundred galleries each year in the nave of the Grand Palais. Born from the merger of Fine Arts Paris and the Biennale des Antiquaires, it covers some twenty specialties, ranging from Antiquity to contemporary creation: Old Masters, modern and contemporary art, drawings, sculpture, furniture, Asian art, jewelry, and decorative arts. Housed at the Grand Palais since 2023, it has been held in September since 2025, attracting 28,000 visitors that year.
Fine Arts Paris — edition 2026
Fine Arts Paris brings together 103 exhibitors in the nave of the Grand Palais from September 19 to 23, 2026, covering everything from Antiquity to contemporary art. The Musée du Grand Siècle is the guest of honor, and Charles Zana is responsible for the scenography.
2026 Edition: Decorators and Heritage
From September 19 to 23, 2026, Fine Arts Paris gathers 103 exhibitors in the nave of the Grand Palais, under the presidency of Xavier Eeckhout. The galleries cover 20 specialties: antiquities, Asian art, Old Masters, modern and contemporary art, drawings, jewelry, furniture, design, and sculpture. Eleven of them occupy "New Horizons," a space created this year for emerging dealers and creators in jewelry, fire arts, and textiles.
Musée du Grand Siècle, Guest of Honor
The Musée du Grand Siècle will open in 2028 in the former royal barracks of Saint-Cloud. At the fair, it showcases about twenty restored pieces from its future permanent collection: paintings, sculptures, furniture, precious objects, and everyday items from the 17th-century French era. Its collection comes from the donation of Pierre Rosenberg, honorary president of the Louvre Museum.
An Ephemeral City Designed by Charles Zana
Charles Zana is the guest decorator. He has organized the fair into three villages connected by aisles and punctuated by squares, creating a flow he describes as almost urban. Sixteen decorators, including Jacques Garcia, Jacques Grange, Thierry Lemaire, and Jean-Michel Wilmotte, have each selected their favorite piece from the exhibitors.
Heritage on the Agenda
The fair is participating in the European Heritage Days program for the first time, offering free admission on September 19 and 20 to the first 200 registrants. The City of Paris is performing a live restoration of a plaster sculpture of Jean-Jacques Rousseau by Raoul Larche, and Le Plus Grand Musée de France is exhibiting three church artworks restored through patronage. With the support of official partner AXA, Fabienne Verdier is unveiling over a hundred ceramics created with the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres.

From the Biennale des Antiquaires to Fine Arts Paris
The fair originated from the merger of Fine Arts Paris, a fair dedicated to ancient and modern art, and the Biennale des Antiquaires. Initially named FAB Paris, it moved into the Grand Palais in 2023. It has since reclaimed the name Fine Arts Paris and established a permanent home at the Grand Palais every September, under the presidency of Xavier Eeckhout, director of the eponymous gallery specializing in 20th-century animal sculpture. The unique position of Fine Arts Paris in the ancient art market has been enriched by the components of the Biennale, including the presence of jewelers and an opening to contemporary art.
The nave of the Grand Palais
Exhibitors set up under the glass roof of the Grand Palais, on avenue Winston Churchill in the 8th arrondissement. They showcase paintings, sculptures, furniture, art objects, jewelry, decorative arts, and contemporary works across some twenty specialties. The Comité Professionnel des Galeries d'Art presents its Jury Prize here, honoring the presentation and artistic selection of a stand.
2024 Edition
FAB Paris brought together 100 exhibitors from November 22 to 27, 2024, in the newly restored Grand Palais. More than a quarter were first-time participants, and a third were international dealers from 9 countries, covering nearly 20 specialties. The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, the guest of honor, exhibited around fifty objects from the collection of Baroness Béatrice Ephrussi in a setting designed by Jacques Garcia; an 18th-century chest of drawers stamped by Joseph Baumhauer found a patron for its restoration there. Attendance: 30,000 visitors.
2025 Edition: The move to September
The fair shifted from November to September and was held from September 20 to 24, 2025, at the Grand Palais, featuring around a hundred exhibitors within a scenography by Sylvie Zerat, enhanced by the signature touch of Constance Guisset. The Musée Nissim de Camondo, closed to the public for restoration, exhibited outside its private mansion in the Plaine Monceau for the first time, set against a backdrop by Alexandre Benjamin Navet; the invitation helped the museum raise 3 million euros. The fair welcomed 28,000 visitors and officially resumed the name Fine Arts Paris.
