\nTHE CREATION OF THE FAIR<\/strong>
\n10 YEARS
\nOriginally named “Les \u00c9lys\u00e9es de l’Art”, the fair was launched in October 2007 under two tents set up on avenue des Champs-Elys\u00e9es, from Place de la Concorde to the Grand Palais, at the same time as Fiac, Slick,
\nShow Off… In the beginning, the organizers of Art Elys\u00e9es – Art & Design wanted to meet the demand from French galleries who wanted to be present during the October week dedicated to art in Paris, as well as to offer a new event to collectors happy to rediscover the artists who have marked the history of twentieth-century art, and to discover works of contemporary art that were both high quality and accessible. Since then, the organizers have continued to work closely with exhibitors, cultural organizations and foundations, and at the same time to put on original exhibitions of outstanding works of art, so as to ensure that this promising fair, which is now one of the major art events of the year, grows from strength to strength. <\/p>\n
THE VISION OF ART \u00c9LYS\u00c9ES-ART & DESIGN: TO OFFER AN INTEMPORARY JOURNEY<\/strong> PROGRAMME 2016<\/strong> ART SECTION: DUBUFFET<\/strong> DESIGN SECTION : LE SALON<\/strong> VIP TOUR<\/strong>
\nThe constant and regular success of this fair is due to the fact that the organizers do not seek to be fashionable. With its modern art rather than contemporary positioning, often referred to as a “wise” fair, it’s not a question of being wise, but of offering an itinerary of galleries that guarantee quality works before trying to be above all international… or “in tune with the times”. This is not incompatible with being innovative, as the fair has already been through its original exhibitions, the creation of its 3rd pavilion dedicated to the 20th century, 7 years ago; or the construction of its fourth pavilion, 8th Avenue dedicated to contemporary art today and the first fair to offer a section to urban art galleries. <\/p>\n
\nTo celebrate the 10th anniversary of the fair, the organizers have set up various events within the Exposition Jean Dubuffet
\nEv\u00e9nements: the SALON, VIA, Exposition PArk Hyatt Vend\u00f4me and Parcours VIP, the 8e Avenue lounge.<\/p>\n
\nTo mark the 10th anniversary of Art Elys\u00e9es- Art & Design, the organizers are delighted to present fair visitors with a rare exhibition of drawings and prints by Jean Dubuffet. Dubuffet is better known to the general public for his paintings, sculptures and monumental installations. This exhibition presents the painter’s research work in a style known as art brut, depicting whimsical figures in everyday activities that seem irrational, given his flattened perspectives, crude drawing and unexpected juxtapositions. <\/p>\n
\nSince its creation in 2009, the Design section of Art Elys\u00e9es has been renowned for its focus on 20th-century design. This year, the fair is as- sociating with Via, which will present its selection of galleries and publishing houses championing young designers from the new scene. The fair is also pleased to present “SALON”, a unique exhibition concept created by Berlin-based Galerie Michael Fuchs. Inspired by the gallery founder’s personal approach to collecting, “SALON” takes an unexpected approach to collecting, presenting art in all its forms as an intrinsic part of our daily lives as well as an art of living. In a staging that recreates the elegant interior of an eclectic and passionate collector, a selection of contemporary, modern and classic artworks blend with iconic furniture and design pieces by leading names. The project’s innovative staging aims to show that, whatever the era, “beauty mixes”. <\/p>\n
\nTo mark the 10th anniversary of the Art Elys\u00e9es – Art & Design Fair, a VIP tour has been created in collaboration with contemporary art specialist Constance Breton. The itinerary will feature cultural interventions in the “Salon”, a VIP area in the pavilion dedicated to art and design.
\nSpeakers from the worlds of culture and luxury will orchestrate conversations on topics such as luxury and art, or art 2.0… These talks will take place at the show on Thursday October 20 at 11:30 am and Friday October 21 at 1:30 pm.
\nThis VIP tour will also include an “hors les murs” event in partnership with the Park Hyatt – Paris Vend\u00f4me, featuring works by artist Pierre Marie Lejeune represented by La Galerie Messine.
\nThe fair maintains its focus on classic modern and contemporary art, and is delighted to welcome new exhibitors such as Galerie Ber\u00e8s, Galerie H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Bailly, Op\u00e9ra Gallery and Guy Pieters Gallery, who will be presenting two exceptional solo shows by Christo and Niki de saint Phalle.
\nArt Elys\u00e9es-Art & Design is also 50% contemporary art galleries, with AD galerie, Baudoin Lebon, galerie du Centre, K\u00e1lm\u00e1n Makl\u00e1ry Gallery, Francoise Livinec, GNG, L\u00e9lia Mordoch presenting a solo show by Japanese artist Yukio Imamura, Barcelona gallery Miquel Alzueta, Galerie Francesco Vangelli de’ Cresci…. and among the new contemporary art galleries: Cortina, Charron, 1831, Victor Lope, Art22 gallery…
