Curated by: Julie Gandini, head curator Le Fonds d’art contemporain – Paris Collections

This year, for the first time, Paris Municipality will be an Art Paris partner and will be presenting the Fonds d’art contemporain - Paris Collections at the fair. The only public collection on display amongst the exhibiting galleries, the City of Paris’s collection is made up of almost 23,500 works from the end of the 19^th century to the present day. Every year, new works are added to the collection as part of the municipality’s actions in support of arts professionals. During the fair, the Fonds d’art contemporain – Paris Collections will be presenting an ensemble of modern and contemporary works from the collection that resonate with this edition’s focus on figurative painting from both a historic and contemporary perspective, while juxtaposing traditional and radical approaches.
