Keeping Up With The FIAC 2021 Edition
by Ivica Mamedy
The Paris International Contemporary Art Fair (FIAC) happened last week from October 21 to 24. The first post-covid edition since last year was canceled and the first one in a new venue, the Grand-Palais Éphémère. Since its debut in 1974, the FIAC became one of the major contemporary art fairs in the world alongside Frieze as well as Art Basel.
Bringing modern and contemporary art galleries. All media are represented during the FIAC: painting, sculpture, photography, installations, videos, performances, and digital arts. This year, there were 171 exhibitors from 25 countries including many of the most influential specialists worldwide in the fields of modern art, contemporary art and design. It presents the finest examples of artistic creation since the turn of the twentieth century; modern masters through to the latest trends.
