PARIS. ArtParis, the Paris springtime event for the modern and
contemporary art market, is returning to the Grand Palais from 31
March to 3 April 2011.
In 2010, the fair's strategic director Lorenzo Rudolf gave ArtParis a
new thrust, stretching the limits of traditional fairs to propose a
new kind of fair... More than 47,000 visitors and numerous sales
hailed the 2010 edition of ArtParis, thus validating what has once
again this year been confirmed as a project-based fair capitalizing
on artistic transversality.
Success of the 2010 edition
At the 2010 edition of ArtParis, some thirty galleries joined forces
with partners, or "guests," to underscore the combined approaches of contemporary creation. Some came from the world of architecture, others from fashion, literature, design, cinema, music, advertising, or even gastronomy to create an event at their partner gallery's stand centred around a powerful concept.
Let us also recall the seven ArtParis platforms… Awakening the
visitors' curiosity, they have generated surprising artistic discoveries through immersion in Finland, Ukraine, and also Indonesia with the participation of the collector Deddy Kusuma, and in Africa with André Magnin's and Matthias Leridon's offering. They have also featured some ultra-contemporary European galleries: Aeroplastics contemporary (Brussels), Bongoût (Berlin), Riccardo Crespi (Milan), and Eric Mircher (Paris) for the Visions platform; and the galleries in the Marais/Beaubourg districts, Anne Barrault, Patricia Dorfmann, Frank Elbaz, Nuke, Odile Ouizeman, and Chez Valentin for the Utopia/Dystopia platform. It was also an opportunity for an original partnership between first-rate galleries in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district: Downtown François Laffanour, Jousse Entreprise, In Situ/Fabienne Leclerc, Hervé Loevenbruck, and Georges-Philippe and Nathalie Vallois, who came together to imagine the apartment of a Saint-Germain-des-Prés collector.
Objectives for 2011: a project-based fair
From 31 March to 3 April 2011, ArtParis will continue down this path and invite some one hundred of the most dynamic French and international modern and contemporary art galleries to participate in this project-based show. The gallery owners and their artists are being asked to work together to create "concept stands" that propose other ways of conceiving paint, photography, sculpture, drawing, video, installations, etc.
To ensure the originality and quality of each exhibition project, Lorenzo Rudolf and the ArtParis team are using a "think tank," a committee of influential professionals from the market, cultural institutions, journalists, and gallery owners participating together in an effort to nurture critical thought on the evolution of art.
The must-see cultural event of the spring
Paris is known throughout the world for its cultural and artistic impact. Today, few cities can rival with Paris's incredible potential for creation, elegance, and culture. Within the Grand Palais, one of the most beautiful showcases ever, Artparis will reassert its goal: to reflect the vitality of the Paris art market.
Lorenzo Rudolf explains: "In 2010, we reconfigured the contours of
ArtParis for greater openness, suitable for new practices. In 2011
we will continue in that direction by preparing an even more surprising ArtParis, and with quality to match."

Road to Nowhere Las Vegas

acte2galerie (Paris) will devote a one-man-show to photographer Albert Watson and is inviting Maison Particulière as guest
acte2galerie will present a solo show dedicated
to the great Scottish photographer Albert
Watson. After graphic art and cinema studies,
this artist, although blind in one eye from birth,
chose to devote himself to photography. Albert
Watson's particular style quickly established itself,
drawing the attention of American and European
fashion magazines such as Mademoiselle, GQ,
Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, etc. Watson surprises
us through the tender, filtered colour palette of his
portraits and landscapes. His photographs are
impressive through their brilliance, depth, and magnificence. His way of lighting his subjects, especially objects of fetishism and models, creates a quasi-meditative atmosphere.
For ArtParis, acte2galerie is inviting Maison Particulière, the space dreamed up by Amaury and Myriam de Solages to promote Art in Belgium and reinvent the world of a private home inhabited by collectors and their collections. They will present a colossal work by Angelo Musco. Entitled "Tehom" and measuring 14 metres long and 3 metres high, it addresses the theme of birth. During the show, American performer Natalie White will fill the space with choreography blending a feeling of weightlessness (in a Plexiglas case filled with water) with the unfathomable sensation of abandon.

The Lahumière gallery (Paris) presents a "Face à face, sculptures-reliefs" exhibition
In a face-to-face exhibition of abstract works of art from 1937 to the present day, the Lahumière gallery explores the theme of sculpture and relief at its stand. The gallery asked one of the sculptors it represents, Jean-Gabriel Coignet, to be the director of this exhibition. Of the big names in modern and contemporary art that he has chosen to show, let us
mention Jean Arp (1887-1966) who, in 1929, joined the
"Cercle-Carré" [Square Circle] movement to which Piet
Mondrian (1872-1944) and Jean Gorin (1899-1981)
belonged; their neoplastic reliefs can be found at the
Lahumière gallery's stand. Also to be seen: the work of one of the founders of the Abstraction- Creation group, Etienne Béothy (1887-1961), as well as the concrete works of Denis Pondruel (born in 1949) whose works are at the Salomon Foundation in Alex, and the reliefs of Antoine Perrot (born in 1953) at Martin Margulies' (major collector in Florida) starting with the 1980s. We can also find at the Lahumière gallery stand the work of the master of OP Art (optical or kinetic
art): Victor Vasarely (1906-1997) as well as the work of one of the major representatives of geometric abstraction: François Morellet (born in 1926).

Sapone gallery, is devoting one-man-show to a great representative of Action Painting, Hans Hartung (1904-1989), with the focus being on his canvasses and India inks from the 1950s and 1960s.
The Tamenaga gallery (Tokyo, Paris, Osaka) is celebrating 40
years of modern and contemporary painting since the opening of
its gallery, and is also showing paintings by masters at ArtParis:
