Perrotin, the esteemed contemporary art gallery with a storied presence across the world’s most prestigious cultural capitals, graces Art Basel Paris with a breathtaking tableau of artistic vision and technical mastery. At Booth B35, four distinctly accomplished artists converge to create an immersive sanctuary of contemporary expression, each offering their own luminous interpretation of form, narrative and human experience.
Nick Goss presents ‘Belvedere Fountain’, a work that speaks to the artist’s enduring fascination with monumentality and the sublime. The piece evokes classical architectural grandeur whilst engaging with distinctly contemporary sensibilities, creating a dialogue between heritage and innovation that feels both timeless and urgently present.
Klara Kristalova’s ‘Girlowl’ emerges as a meditation on identity and transformation, rendered through the artist’s distinctively sensual sculptural language. The work demonstrates Kristalova’s extraordinary gift for imbuing form with psychological depth, creating pieces that resonate with an almost incantatory power.
Claire Tabouret’s ‘Le petit Roi’ continues the artist’s exploration of portraiture and presence, her distinctive gestural painting style rendering the figure with remarkable emotional intimacy. Tabouret’s work transcends conventional representation, instead offering a profound meditation on vulnerability, power and the interior lives we conceal.
The presentation culminates with JR’s ‘La Caverne du Pont Neuf, 16 Juin 2026, 21h34, Paris, France’, a work that captures a singular moment in space and time. JR’s practice has long engaged with the urban landscape and the stories embedded within our cities, and this piece continues that compelling artistic trajectory with characteristic innovation and social consciousness.
Together, these four works form a constellation of artistic thought that speaks to the enduring power of visual culture to elevate, provoke and transform. Perrotin’s curation brings together artists of international stature and distinctive vision, each contributing their own voice to a broader conversation about beauty, meaning and artistic truth in our contemporary moment.
