“True creation is free of dogma and necessarily multiple. It is worthy of interest when it is demanding, free and singular. Beyond originality, the strength of a work lies in its uniqueness. In this way, Sculpture Plurielle brings together expressions that share demanding research, plastic qualities, originality and independence. If abstraction is dominant, it is not erected as an absolute dogma”. William NOBLET, sculptor and leader of the “Sculpture plurielle” group.
ART CAPITAL was born in 2006 from the desire of the so-called “Historical Salons of the Grand Palais” and artists from diverse backgrounds to play off their differences and join forces to create a new, unifying event. Today, Art Capital is one of the biggest art fairs in Europe, created by Artists for Artists, bringing together 4 historic fairs under the same banner: the Salon des artistes français (created in 1880), the Salon des indépendants (1884), the Salon Comparaisons (1954) and the Drawing and Painting Salon (1949 for drawing, with watercolor added in 1954). – For the past 15 years, ART CAPITAL has been bringing together emerging and established artists.
Artists’ salons make the history of art and Paris: Four entities with different histories, but all based on the same principle: artists’ associations organize annual exhibitions for their members. This major artistic event is an integral part of France’s intangible heritage, and its DNA is none other than creation, which brings together over 2,000 international artists every year. The event is eagerly awaited by artists, enabling them to maintain a direct link with their public in an iconic, majestic monument dedicated to the glory of Art.
The COMPARAISONS show is dedicated to presenting an original panorama of contemporary art, as complete as humanly possible, organized by group and managed by a group leader. The artists, selected and invited by the group leader, come mainly from France, but also from other countries. Open to the international scene, the show also welcomes a number of foreign delegations, obviously in groups representing the state of creation in their countries.
The Comparaisons show features 31 groups, corresponding to as many sensibilities and trends in contemporary art.
