As Paris launches its autumn art season, Fine Arts Paris returns to the Grand Palais, reaffirming its position as France’s premier fair for fine art, antiques and design. Bringing together 100 leading international galleries, the fair offers an exceptional journey through more than two thousand years of artistic creation, from antiquities and Old Masters to Impressionism, Modern art, sculpture, jewellery and contemporary works.

Rather than separating historical and contemporary disciplines, Fine Arts Paris encourages dialogue across centuries. Museum-quality paintings, furniture, sculpture and decorative arts are presented alongside twentieth-century masterpieces and contemporary creations, reflecting a vision of collecting rooted in quality, scholarship and connoisseurship.

An allegorical Baroque scene depicts two classical female figures conversing beside a stone pedestal bearing the Latin motto 'Basis Firma Fides'—faith is a firm foundation—set within a serene pastoral landscape, featured at Fine Arts Paris 2026.

Among this year’s highlights is New Horizons, a new section dedicated to emerging dealers and contemporary makers, introducing a fresh generation of specialists to the international market. Sculpture also takes centre stage throughout the fair, while a special presentation from the future Musée du Grand Siècle offers visitors a preview of one of France’s most anticipated museum collections. Architect Charles Zana has conceived this edition’s scenography, transforming the Grand Palais into a series of interconnected streets and squares that encourage discovery and dialogue.
