Paris Internationale 2025

Paris Internationale has established itself as a forward-thinking alternative to traditional art fairs since its founding in 2015. Now in its 11th edition, the fair brings together 66 galleries from around the world, presenting cutting-edge projects that spotlight emerging artists while also reintroducing overlooked established figures within an accessible and collaborative framework.

Since its inception, Paris Internationale has been reinventing traditional contemporary art fairs through a selection of committed and forward-looking galleries challenged to take over new venues each year – this year, Rond-point des Champs-Élysées. Paris Internationale’s nomadic approach has become a signature, and since 2022 has been accompanied by a partnership with the Swiss architects Christ & Gantenbein, disrupting the traditional conception of fair spaces whilst rediscovering Paris’s architectural heritage.

By replacing boxes with walls, the architects have adopted a radical system that challenges the cubic, closed-in booth typical of traditional fairs. The design of Christ & Gantenbein’s exhibition spaces emphasises a relationship with the urban space and the enhancement of the historic buildings involved, fostering a sense of exchange, openness and community.
