The Best Installations at Paris+ par Art Basel’s Tuileries Garden Outdoor Art Exhibition

Before the Grand Palais reopens in 2024, Paris + par Art Basel is being held for the second year at the Grand Palais éphémère, an artificial building designed by Belgian architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte.

With big crowds expected at the fair, if you feel hemmed in, head outside. Stretching across the Tuileries Garden, from the Louvre to Place de la Concorde, the open-air exhibition “La Cinquième Saison” (The Fifth Season) presents the garden in a new light — “as a mineral, aquatic, vegetal, animal, and human space of activity”.

Curated by Annabelle Ténèze, who took the helm of the Louvre-Lens Museum in July, the exhibition brings together 26 diverse artists to explore the relationship between flora and fauna, the interactions between men and nature, and ideas around change, evolution, and growth. Some artworks even seem to come to life. The experience is a pleasant reprieve of fresh air and art, before diving back into the hustle and bustle of Paris+’s indoor program.

Below are the five must-see installations at the Tuileries Gardens.
