ART ELYSEES-ART DESIGN REVIEW 2019
A GREAT SUCCESS!
The Art Élysées fair confirmed its status as a not-to-be-missed event, with a large number of sales in all its sections: modern, contemporary and urban art, as well as in the design section. The high quality of the exhibits on the stands was appreciated by professionals, specifiers and visitors alike.
A dynamic atmosphere:
The organizers of Art Élysées have succeeded in creating a convivial atmosphere under their ephemeral structures set up on the Champs-Elysées avenue, a unique and prestigious venue. Art Élysées is also a “human” fair, in terms of both size and exchanges, with artists in the contemporary section often present and accessible to the public. At a time when all sectors of activity are undergoing many changes, particularly in terms of purchasing. Art Élysées offers a warm and dynamic setting for exchanges, facilitating meetings and relationships between buyers and exhibitors, with many new contacts for most galleries and very positive feedback.
The fair featured nearly 100 galleries in its 4 pavilions. 25 foreign galleries and 27 new galleries were present this year. Art Élysées succeeded in expanding and maintaining the quality of its exhibitions, at a complex time when other fairs are disappearing and being created. With its 4 pavilions, the fair responds to strong demand from galleries and buyers in France and abroad.
A desire for renewal:
A major renewal of the design pavilion, of which the organizers were very proud.
This pavilion was a great success, presenting exceptional pieces from both contemporary and 20th-century design. Art and design enthusiasts applauded the scenography and quality of the stand displays, as well as the entrances decorated by Fabrice Ausset.
The same was true of the urban contemporary art pavilion, with the arrival of new galleries including Wallworks, Openspace, At Down, Ground Effect, Stephane Lebenson and Art-Together, all of which breathed new life into the show.
This year, Art Élysées hosted a number of high-quality exhibitions and events, including the Joël-Peter Witkin photo exhibition presented by the Centre d’art La Chapelle de Clairefontaine, and the installation by Cuban artist Javier Balmaseda. The fair’s organizers would like to salute their exceptional partners, and in particular the Livio restaurant, for their contribution to the success of this 13th edition, which is even more attractive and qualitative. With a demanding artistic direction that is at the same time open to novelty, first with design and then with contemporary urban art. Expanding the fair to include a wider artistic panorama means renewing the dynamism and synergy of each new edition.
A positive balance sheet
Art Élysées recorded a good attendance record, with over 37,000 visitors, and in 2019, the fair recorded a slight increase in attendance of 6% compared with 2018.
We would like to warmly thank our loyal and new partners for their confidence, as well as our exhibitors and visitors who contributed to the success of this year’s event.
The 14th edition of Art Elysées will be held from October 22 to 26, 2020, with a professional afternoon and vernissage on October 21.
