Art-Elysees, 2nd year – adjacent to FIAC on the Champs-Elysees.

 

I’ve been coming to the great FIAC exhibition not for the 35 years it’s been held but as often as possible. Why? Because despite the dreck that some of the almost 200 galleries from around the world choose to showcase, there’s a lot of interesting stuff.

One of them called Art-Elysees is housed in two big tents along the Champs and for those able to go through October 26th I recommend the booths of the following galleries:
Palmyre
Christophe Gaillard
Lucie Weill & Seligmann
Les Yeux Fertilles
Nordine Zidoun, featured in today’s Figaro

Veronique Smagghe +
Beatrice Soulie.
