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.
