At Art Basel Paris, social tensions fail to deter international collectors from turning out in force

Art Basel Paris features a striking black-and-white exhibition by Christophe Gaillard, highlighting works that resonate with contemporary issues. Central to the display is a crumpled canvas by Steven Parrino, symbolizing collision and loss, alongside a burned trash can by Anita Molinero, reflecting recent violence. Other galleries showcase art's revolutionary spirit, such as Tania Mouraud's monumental NI and C.A.D.A.'s historical performances against the Pinochet regime, emphasizing art's role in social commentary and resistance.
