Paris: Art Basel at the Grand Palais and Guillermo Kuitca at Musée Picasso, plus Małgorzata Mirga-Tas at Tate St Ives
Description
After descending on London last week, the art world arrived in Paris this week, with the main attraction being the Art Basel Paris art fair—now staged in the renovated Belle Epoque masterpiece, the Grand Palais. An editor-at-large at The Art Newspaper, Jane Morris, was at the VIP opening and tells us more. As always, alongside the fair are a number of eye-catching museum shows and projects. Among them is Chapelle, a new in-situ work for the Musée Picasso by the Argentinian artist Guillermo Kuitca. Ben Luke talks to Kuitca about the piece. And this episode’s Work of the Week is June (2022) by Małgorzata Mirga-Tas, a work from a series in which the Polish-born Romani artist reimagines astrologically themed frescoes at the Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara in order to explore the history and contemporary life of the Roma people. Our associate digital editor, Alexander Morrison, talks to Mirga-Tas about the work, as it goes on display at Tate St Ives in the UK.
Art Basel Paris, Grand Palais, until Sunday, 20 October.
Chapelle by Guillermo Kuitca, Musée Picasso, Paris, until 31 December 2027.
Małgorzata Mirga-Tas, Tate St Ives, UK, 19 October-5 January 2025
