Paris Biennale to Call it a Day
March 9 2021

It has been announced that organisers of the Paris Biennale have decided to wrap up the existing fair. Inaugurated in 1962, the fair has struggled in recent years with drops in visitor numbers and a loss of reputation due to a forgery scandal in 2016. Last year's replacement sale at Christie's too failed to inspire enough sales. The Art Newspaper have reported that the fair's chairman Georges de Jonkheere resigned last October. It is said that the Biennale will be replaced by a luxury crafts fair in late November.
