FAB Paris 2024: Absolument FAB

France’s premier FAB Paris fair (formerly known as Fine Arts Paris & La Biennale) for fine art and antiques, created in February 2022, takes up residence at the newly restored landmark Grand Palais this November.

Returning for its third edition, more than 100 internationally revered art and antique dealers will convene under the historic glass dome – the fair’s permanent venue – presenting art, culture, furniture, jewellery and French elegance. There’s also a space for young art dealers to help cultivate a new generation of art dealers – in much the same way the Paris 2024 Olympic Games felt youthful – and newcomers, including the likes of pioneering Japanese contemporary art gallery, A Lighthouse called Kanata. One notable standout will be an exhibition of the legendary collection of Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, which overlooks the Mediterranean between Nice and Monaco, to coincide with the 160th anniversary of the birth of its founder, Béatrice de Rothschild (1864-1934). Royal furniture and art from the villa will be displayed in a scenography created by prominent French interior design Jacques Garcia. The exhibition will run from November 22 to 27.
