Conversations | What’s Next for the French Art Market?


Quel avenir pour le marché de l’art en France ?

In recent years, Paris has once again become a stronghold of the international art market. The arrival of international galleries, the development of Avenue Matignon as a new artistic artery, and the opening of several major international foundations testify to this phenomenon. What are the reasons for this new attractiveness? Is Paris on its way to regaining its former aura? What role might it play in the market of tomorrow?

Romain Chenais (born in 1985, Paris). After studying at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques in Paris and the Royal College of Arts in London, he created in 2011, with Jason Hwang, the Shanaynay exhibition space in Paris, which aims to present a young international scene that is not very visible in France and to question the structures of the exhibition. In 2013, he opened the High Art gallery with Jason Hwang and Philippe Joppin. In 2019, High Art opens its second space in Arles.

Xenia Geroulanos is the Director of Thaddaeus Ropac Paris.

Mariane Ibrahim is a French-Somali gallerist that has established herself as a leading Chicago and international art dealer through her spotlight of artists of the African diaspora. Mariane first opened her flagship space in Seattle in 2012 before relocating to Chicago in 2019 to open a new 5,000 square-foot space in West Town. In 2021, she opened her inaugural European location, a three-floor space on Avenue Matignon in Paris. In 2021, Ibrahim was awarded The Ordre des Arts et des Lettres on behalf of the Ministry of Culture in France. She has been featured in Architectural Digest, CNN, Artnet News, and Surface Magazine, among others.

Farah Nayeri is the author of ‘Takedown: Art and Power in the Digital Age’ (2022) and writes on arts and culture for the New York Times. Based in London and formerly in Paris and Rome, she is the host of the CultureBlast podcast.
