Paris Biennale

La Biennale Paris and dealer association Syndicat National des Antiquaires have organised an online auction at Christie’s.

Organisers of La Biennale Paris have postponed the 32nd edition of the event until next year.

The French dealers’ association that organises the ‘Biennale Paris’ fair, The Syndicat National Des Antiquaires, has announced the initial exhibitor list and programme details for the event in September.

The 28th edition of the Paris ‘Biennale des Antiquaires’ will include a radical shake-up of its jewellery content.

Kraemer Gallery and Didier Aaron & Cie, the two leading members of the Paris trade embroiled in a faking scandal, are expected to be excluded from the forthcoming Biennale des Antiquaires, a source close to the French trade has told ATG.

Paris Tableau, the specialist Old Masters fair, announced midway through its run this month that from next year it would become part of the new annual Biennale des Antiquaires.

Reaction to the news that the Paris ‘Biennale’ will become an annual event has been largely positive.

Members of French dealers’ association the Syndicat National des Antiquaires have voted to make the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris an annual event.

The Paris Biennale is set to move from the Carrousel du Louvre back to the Grand Palais, its historic venue, for its next outing in 2006 after Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanöe unexpectedly vetoed plans for an underground car-park beneath the Palais that would have delayed its reopening until 2008 or 2009.

TWO diamonds with a reported value of nearly £8m were were stolen from the Chopard stand at the Paris Biennale.
