For its 46th edition, running October 17 – 20, 2019 at Grand Palais, FIAC brings together 199 galleries from 29 countries including 2 countries represented at FIAC for the very first time (Ivory Coast and Iran).

FIAC and the Galeries Lafayette Group renew their collaboration in the promotion of emerging artists and galleries through the Lafayette Sector
whose 10 participants receive significant financial support from the Galeries Lafayette Group, Official Partner of FIAC since 2009.

Other returning sections of the fair include General sector, dedicated to modern and contemporary, Design and FIAC Projects, which presents around thirty sculptures and installations within the prestigious exhibition rooms and grounds of the Petit Palais.

FIAC Hors les Murs 2019 presents an ensemble of over twenty outdoor works in the Jardin Tuileries, together with a solo exhibition of the British artist Glenn Brown in collaboration with Max Hetzler (Berlin, Paris, London…) at the musée national Eugène-Delacroix. On Place Vendôme, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama creates an in situ artwork for this historically and symbolically charged Parisian venue.

As usual, for the duration of the fair, FIAC Programmes presents a freely accessible program of performances (Parades for FIAC), conferences
(Conversation Room), and film screenings (Cinéphémère).
