Christie’s Paris is delighted to partner with 1-54, the leading art fair dedicated to African contemporary art and its diaspora for their first French edition. From 20–24 January, our Paris salesroom will host 19 international exhibitors such as Galerie Cécile Fakhoury, Galerie Lelong, Galerie Magnin-A, Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Gallery 1957, Loft Art Gallery, Luce Gallery among other reputed galleries.
Our online platform will enable visitors from across the world to participate digitally in the fair; alongside this, a programme of talks, screenings, performances, workshops and readings curated by LE 18 – a multidisciplinary art space located in Morocco – will be presented during the fair in an online format, running from January through February.
The partnership follows the success from the collaboration for the fair’s 2020 London edition, for which Christie’s displayed works at its King Street galleries and online. Such collaborations reinforce our commitment to show contemporary African art simultaneously creating camaraderie in the field.
