Drawing Now Paris Returns to Carrousel du Louvre for 5th Edition
Drawing Now Paris, the contemporary drawing fair, returns for its 5th edition from March 25 to 28, now held at the Carrousel du Louvre. The fair gathers 80 European galleries, with a dedicated Mezzanine platform for emerging graphic artists. Directors Carine Tissot and Philippe Piguet, along with president Christine Phal, lead the event. Concurrently, the Salon du dessin takes place at Palais de la Bourse from March 30 to April 4, and Slick gallery hosts "Dessins exquis" curated by Laurent Boudier from March 24 to April 4. The fair features three monographic presentations on young artists: Belgian Benjamin Monti, Jérôme Zonder (exhibiting at Galerie Eva Hober from September 10, with a film on Arte on May 29), and Michael Riedel (showing at David Zwirner Gallery, New York, until March 19). Piguet emphasizes the fair's focus on contemporary drawing, with a limit of works from 1950 onward. The "Musée imaginaire" curated by Pierre Cornette de Saint Cyr includes artists like César, Yves Klein, Mona Hatoum, Bruno Peinado, Virginie Barré, and Claude Closky. The committee, including Olivier Kaeppelin, Bernard Point, Michel Poitevin, Alexandra Fau, and Marc Donnadieu, will award the first Drawing Now prize. Piguet notes that drawing is not a safe haven but a rising value, and Paris lacks a dedicated Drawing Center like New York's.
