The glassy Grand Palais is hosting the 26th edition of the Biennale des Antiquaires through September 23 (see ARTINFO France’s report on sales at the fair, here). As usual, splendor and big international names are on view, in a jewel of an exhibition designed by Karl Lagerfeld. The Biennale is a chance to uncover rare finds, though this pasttime may be limited to those with well-nourished bank accounts (with a few minimal exceptions).
Still, if you can’t purchase are of these treasures, you can always dream about them. ARTINFO France has selected nine unusual objects whose aesthetic originality reminds us why we love this slightly straight-laced event that launches the fall art season in Paris.
