Bringing together 196 galleries specializing in modern and
contemporary art, together with a design sector featuring 7 of the
world's leading galleries in the field, the 36th edition of FIAC will
take place from October 22nd to October 25th at the Grand Palais, the
Cour Carrée of the Louvre Museum and in the Tuileries Gardens.

One of the highlights of FIAC 2009 will be an unprecedented project
resulting from the collaboration of 10 of the world's most
prestigious galleries specialising in modern art. Presented in a
space of approximately 300m2 designed by the architect Jean-François
Bodin (reputed for his work at the Centre Pompidou, the Musée d'Art
Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Cité de l'architecture et du
patrimoine) and situated in the heart of the Grand Palais, each
gallery will exhibit two or three exceptional works from the modern
period, composing an ensemble of approximately twenty works of
undisputed museum quality and historic significance.

The participating galleries are: Acquavella Galleries (New York),
Thomas Amman (Zürich), Galerie Beyeler (Basel), Galerie Louis Carré
& Cie (Paris), Gagosian Gallery (New York – Los Angeles – London
– Roma), Richard Gray (New York, Chicago), Galerie Krugier & Cie
(Geneva – New York), L&M Arts (New York), Malingue (Paris), and
PaceWildenstein (New York).

This initiative, which constitutes a world première, responds to the
desire to reaffirm and highlight the essential role of leading dealers
in the historiography, exhibition and negotiation of modern
masterworks.

Please consult our website www.fiac.com for the complete list
of FIAC 2009 exhibitors, including the 14 galleries selected by a
board composed of curators Christine Macel (Centre Georges Pompidou,
Paris; Hans-Ulrich Obrist (Serpentine Gallery, London) and
Marc-Oliver Wahler (Palais de Tokyo, Paris) to participate in a new
sector subsidized by FIAC 2009's official sponsor, the Groupe
Galeries Lafayette.
