Jeff Koons, figure emblématique de l'art contemporain, redéfinit les frontières de l'expression artistique. De ses débuts à ses sculptures "Balloon Dog", il fusionne pop culture et histoire de l'art.

For several decades, major luxury brands have played an increasingly prominent role in contemporary art. Their logos, products and visual identities have become instantly recognizable symbols, just like certain celebrities, comic-book characters or consumer products. Among them, Chanel occupies a unique position. The double C, the black-and-white palette and the famous N°5 perfume form a visual vocabulary known throughout the world. These codes inspire many contemporary artis

Jean-Michel Basquiat, figure emblématique de l'art du XXe siècle, est passé du graffiti à la renommée internationale en une décennie. Son œuvre, empreinte d'émotion et de commentaire socio-politique, continue de fasciner.

Antoine Dufilho is a contemporary French sculptor known for his automotive sculptures composed of a succession of metal sections. Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, Mercedes, Aston Martin and Ford: the artist draws inspiration from the lines of some of the most famous cars in automotive history, deconstructing them and transforming them into sculptures in which empty space plays a role just as important as the material itself. At first glance, an Antoine Dufilho sculpture depicts an

The international success of KAWS has led to a considerable increase in counterfeits. Whether it is Companion, BFF, Chum, or versions such as Gone, Together, Clean Slate and the various KAWS Holiday editions, all of them are now reproduced and copied, sometimes to a sufficiently high standard to deceive an inexperienced buyer. Buying a KAWS figure on the secondary market therefore requires certain precautions. Packaging, markings, vinyl quality, colors, dimensions, provenance

Yayoi Kusama, one of the world’s most famous contemporary artists, has died at the age of 97. She passed away on August 14, 2026, in a Tokyo hospital, and her death was officially announced on August 27 by the Yayoi Kusama Museum and the organizations representing the artist. According to the official statement, she continued painting until her final days. With her polka dots, pumpkins, Infinity Mirror Rooms and immersive installations, Yayoi Kusama created an instantly recog

When a collector considers buying or selling a work of art, one question almost invariably arises: how much is it worth? The answer is rarely straightforward. Unlike an industrial product, whose price can be determined based on its manufacturing cost and commercial margin, a work of art is a unique object, or one produced in limited quantities, whose value depends on a combination of artistic, historical, and economic factors. People often refer to an artist’s “market value”

In April 2026, a federal jury in Manhattan ordered the American art publisher American Image Art LLC and its president, Michael McKenzie, to pay $102.2 million in damages to the Morgan Art Foundation (MAF), Robert Indiana's longtime partner. The verdict brought to a close one of the most significant recent legal disputes involving the estate of a contemporary artist. Filed in 2018, the lawsuit concerned the production and sale of unauthorized works attributed to Robert Indian

Whether you are a newcomer discovering the art market or an experienced collector, one question comes up time and again: how can one artwork be priced at just a few thousand euros while another commands hundreds of thousands—or even millions? Unlike an industrial product, the price of a work of art is not determined solely by the cost of its materials or the time required to create it. Instead, it reflects a combination of artistic, economic, and historical factors that make

Nearly twenty years after the last major French retrospective devoted to Andy Warhol, the Fonds Hélène & Édouard Leclerc pour la Culture (FHEL) in Landerneau is presenting, from 6 June 2026 to 24 January 2027, an exhibition that has already established itself as one of the year's major artistic events. The result of an unprecedented partnership with The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, the artist's hometown, the exhibition brings together nearly 200 works—paintings, screenpr

With "Levitation", his solo exhibition presented at the Charles Nègre Museum of Photography in Nice, Mathieu Forget delivers one of the major artistic events of the cultural season on the French Riviera. Far more than a simple photography exhibition, this large-scale project offers an immersion into a universe where the laws of physics seem suspended, where movement becomes poetry, and where visitors are invited to rediscover the world from an unexpected perspective. For more

Anyone who has walked through Biarritz, Anglet or Bayonne with their eyes lifted toward the rooftops has likely spotted one of the small, pixelated tile mosaics that have become one of the most recognisable signatures in contemporary street art. Since the artist known as Invader first appeared on the Basque Coast, the region has become one of the more closely watched "invasion zones" outside Paris, and 2026 has brought renewed activity worth documenting for collectors, reside

Walk into almost any major contemporary art fair over the past two decades and you will likely encounter a Julian Opie piece before you consciously register whose work it is: a walking figure reduced to a handful of black lines, a rotating LED portrait, a face distilled to two dots and a curve. Opie has built one of the most recognisable visual languages in contemporary art by doing something that sounds almost paradoxical, stripping the human figure down to its barest inform

The exhibition Time Fold marks a major new milestone in the career of American contemporary artist Daniel Arsham. Presented by Perrotin in London, the exhibition brings together sculptures, drawings, paintings, and personal archives around a question that has run through the artist's work for more than twenty years: how can time be represented when it ceases to be linear? Since the early 2000s, Daniel Arsham has developed an instantly recognizable visual language situated at

For approximately the past three years, Antoine Dufilho’s metal car sculptures have experienced a rapid and continuous appreciation in value on the contemporary art market. Whether depicting Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes, Lamborghini, or McLaren models, Antoine Dufilho's sculptures have all increased in value by approximately 25% and continue to appreciate over time. At the crossroads of kinetic sculpture, automotive culture, and architectural design, his work is gradually estab

A Free Exhibition Not to Be Missed Between June and September 2026 Paris has long been a city where street art and urban culture have found fertile ground. From the painted walls of the Marais to the monumental murals of the 13th arrondissement, the French capital has embraced urban art as a legitimate and vital form of contemporary expression. This summer, that relationship takes a new institutional turn with the return of "We Are (Still) Here" at the Petit Palais, one of th

Presented at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, the exhibition “Keith Haring in 3D” offers an ambitious reinterpretation of Keith Haring’s work, focusing not on his most famous drawings, but on what is often left in the shadow of his production: its three-dimensional dimension. Far from the fixed image of the street artist whose colorful silhouettes have covered walls across the world, the exhibition reveals an artist deeply committed to ques

Between July 2024 and January 2025, the exhibition Pop to Street Art: Influences, held in Reggio Calabria, promised an immersive journey into the history of Pop Art and Street Art through works attributed to major artists such as Andy Warhol, Banksy, and Keith Haring. What was meant to be a major cultural event ultimately turned into one of the most significant recent scandals in the contemporary art market in Europe. In May 2026, Italian authorities announced the seizure of

For many years, graffiti was viewed as a marginal practice, often associated with transgression, the illegal occupation of public space, and underground culture. Yet over the decades, this form of expression born on the streets has evolved into one of the most influential artistic movements of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. With the arrival of Beyond The Streets in Paris, the French capital is hosting a major international exhibition that retraces this e

You bought a painting at a gallery a few years ago. Or perhaps a limited-edition print that has been sitting in your living room, quietly appreciating in value. Now you are wondering: could I sell it? What is it worth today? How do I go about it without making costly mistakes? Reselling a work of art purchased from a gallery is not as complicated as it might seem, but it does require understanding a few fundamental rules. This guide walks you through every step of the process
