Discover the greatest names in modern art
This is the foundation of Moderne Art Fair, and its very raison d’être: the Modern Art section brings together the works that shaped the 20th century. From late Impressionism to the avant-garde, from Cubism to abstraction, from the École de Paris to the major post-war movements — a century of radical change, brought together for a few days at the Place de la Concorde.
The French and international galleries gathered here share the same high standards: those of quality and provenance. Paintings, sculptures, works on paper, rare pieces from private collections — each stand presents a carefully curated and well-argued selection. Here one encounters artists who need no introduction, but also those whom history has left in the shadows and whom dealers are now restoring to their rightful place. It is often here that the finest discoveries are made.
For collectors, modern art remains a safe haven: a mature, transparent market where rarity is paramount. For visitors, it is a simple yet rare moment — standing before works one has only ever seen in reproductions, at eye level, without a display case, and being able to discuss them with those who champion them.
Just a few steps away from the fair’s most contemporary creations, the Modern Art section serves as a reminder of where it all began. The dialogue between the two is constant: this is the very spirit of Moderne Art Fair.
