With the City of Paris and some of its cultural institutions, Paris+ by Art Basel will present a citywide public program to visitors, free and accessible to all, further strengthening its bonds with the Parisian cultural scene. A group exhibition realized in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre, curated by Annabelle Ténèze, presently Director of Les Abattoirs, Musée – Frac Occitanie Toulouse and incoming Director of the Louvre-Lens Museum, and titled ‘La cinquième saison’ (‘The fifth season’) will be on view in the Jardin des Tuileries – Domaine National du Louvre.

Two new venues will be added to the program: The Palais d’Iéna will host a duo exhibition by Daniel Buren and Michelangelo Pistoletto, curated by art historian Matthieu Poirier and supported by Galleria Continua; the Parvis de l’Institut de France will host a monumental textile sculpture by Sheila Hicks, presented by Galerie Frank Elbaz in collaboration with Meyer Riegger and Massimo Minini. Alongside this, a multimedia installation by Jessica Warboys will be on view at the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins des Beaux-Arts de Paris, presented by Gaudel de Stampa, and a five-meter-high aluminum sculpture by Urs Fischer, titled Wave, will be exhibited on the Place Vendôme, presented by Gagosian.
Clément Delépine, Director of Paris+ par Art Basel, says: ‘I am delighted that with three new venues, we could significantly bolster the public program of Paris+ par Art Basel’s upcoming edition. The fruitful institutional partnerships we put in place and the ambitious proposal resulting from them are defining features of our show in the French capital. With Paris+ par Art Basel’s 2023 public program, Parisians and visitors from out of town will be able to experience thought-provoking art and engaging discourse in the context of historical, if not legendary, locations.’
