Sites is dedicated to artistic projects taking place in the heart of Paris. For its first edition,
Sites will take place in iconic settings throughout the city, including the Jardin des Tuileries
– Domaine national du Louvre, as well as Place Vendôme, musée national EugèneDelacroix and Chapelle des Petits-Augustins des Beaux-Arts de Paris.
Clément Delépine, Director, Paris+ par Art Basel says: ‘I am truly delighted with the scale
and ambition of our inaugural edition of Sites and the vibrant Conversations program. Both
sectors are accessible to all, extending our programming throughout the city to a broad
audience beyond our fair visitors. While Sites and Conversations take place outside of the
fair premises, conceptually they sit at its very center, providing new impulses to
contemporary cultural discourse.’
Sites at the Jardin des Tuileries – Domaine national du Louvre and at musée national
Eugène-Delacroix
Organized in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre and curated by Annabelle Ténèze,
Director of Les Abattoirs, Musée – Frac Occitanie Toulouse, the exhibition titled ‘La Suite de
l’Histoire’, brings together large-scale works in the scenic grounds of the Jardin des Tuileries
and a solo project by artist Thaddeus Mosley in the landscaped garden at the musée
national Eugène-Delacroix.
The exhibition examines the multi-layered history of the Jardin des Tuileries, including its
political and public dimensions, through the work of artists whose practices often subvert
and reimagine the role of art in the public realm. Set in a place in which history, architecture
and nature converge, the exhibition invites visitors to revisit the gardens in a new way.

Annabelle Ténèze, Paris+ par Art Basel Curator of Sites at the Jardin des Tuileries –
Domaine national du Louvre and at the musée national Eugène-Delacroix, says: ‘La Suite
de l’Histoire’ brings together contemporary creations linked to new artistic practices in the
public space. In the Jardin des Tuileries, a place of history, a space of nature in the city and
a popular attraction, and in the musée Delacroix, over 20 works emancipate themselves
from the tradition of monumental elevation and question the narratives in suspense. The
artists, proposing alternative monuments, turning the forms of sculpture upside down or
inhabiting the garden in a different way, reveal the possible continuations of history; ‘La
Suite de l’Histoire’.’
Laurence des Cars, Présidente-Directrice of the Musée du Louvre says: ‘I am thrilled about
this inaugural exhibition, which reflects an emboldened presence of contemporary art in the
Tuileries, and is embedded in the renewal of our autumnal sculpture project in the gardens.
Since the 17th century, the garden has been a place for the public and for creativity.
Annabelle Ténèze, whose work at the musée d’art contemporain de Rochechouart and the
Abattoirs in Toulouse I have followed closely, has perfectly mastered the technical and
curatorial challenges at hand to propose an exhibition that features works by artists from
different generations and backgrounds. The Tuileries garden, like the Louvre and the musée
Delacroix, is a place filled with life in all its forms. With this exhibition, we will be able to write
‘La Suite de l’Histoire’ together.’

Highlights include:
• Danish artist Nina Beier’s ‘Guardians’ (2022), an installation of four toppled marble
lions laying on the ground and covered with patches of seeds, attracting the
garden’s birds. The work is presented by Croy Nielsen and Standard (Oslo).
• An installation by Mexican, New York-based artist Raúl de Nieves, composed of
three beaded sculptures and titled ‘Musicians’ (2020) presented by Morán Morán,
Company Gallery, and Fitzpatrick Gallery.
• French American artist Niki de Saint Phalle’s sculpture ‘Blue Obelisk with Flowers’
(1992) presented by Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois.
• ‘The Green Pavilion’ (2022) by French architect and artist Odile Decq, an homage
to the Renaissance greenhouse as a space for protection of rare species and social
interaction, presented by Galerie Philippe Gravier.
• German artist Judith Hopf’s ‘Phone User 4 (outdoor)’ (2022), a concrete sculpture
of a human-sized figure holding a smartphone, addressing the fraught relationship
between people and their mobile devices
• A sculpture by Austrian artist Franz West titled ‘Lemurenköpfe (Lemure Heads)’
(1992/2000), first displayed at documenta IX in Kassel in 1992 and presented by
David Zwirner.
The applications for Sites at the Jardin des Tuileries were open to all galleries, irrespective
of their participation in Paris+ par Art Basel.
The exhibition will continue at the musée national Eugène Delacroix, which will host a
presentation of works by African American artist Thaddeus Mosley, marking the sculptor’s
first solo museum exhibition in France. Mosley introduces an installation comprising recent
sculptures, ranging in size from miniature to monumental. Heavily carved pieces are balanced
against one another in multi-part sculptures, which are contrasted by smaller, mask-sized,
tabletop sculptures. Mosley’s work is presented by Karma.

Sites at Place Vendôme
At Place Vendôme, German-Polish artist Alicja Kwade will present ‘Au cours des Mondes’
(2022), curated by Jérôme Sans. This new installation, her largest to date, is a set of
spheres, a recurring motif for the artist, in dialogue with infinite staircases. A veritable
initiatory journey in the public space, the installation questions our relationship to
knowledge, the universe, and the mechanisms of power. The work is presented by kamel
mennour.
Sites at Chapelle des Petits-Augustins des Beaux-Arts de Paris
Omer Fast’s exhibition ‘Karla’ (2022) will be on view at Chapelle des Petits-Augustins des
Beaux-Arts de Paris. It features a holographic projection exploring the eponymous
character’s job for a big tech company, as well as ghost-like sculptures and copies of Max
Beckmann’s self-portrait. Together, these elements respond to the 16th-century sculptures
permanently on view in the chapel, exploring the inherently ambiguous nature of concepts
such as authenticity, time, and reality. ‘Karla’ is presented by gb agency.
The Sites sector is supported by David Yurman, a celebrated American jewelry company
founded in New York by David Yurman, a sculptor, and his wife, Sybil, a painter and
ceramicist – both proud benefactors of the arts.
Evan Yurman, President of David Yurman says: ‘We are pleased to partner with Paris+ par
Art Basel in their inaugural year to support their public art project ‘Sites’ in Paris – a city that,
like our hometown of New York, is defined by art and artists. We at David Yurman feel
connected to the city’s history, its people, its art, and are excited to be a part of this project
with Paris+ to help amplify the French capital’s artistic roots.’

From October 20 to 23, students from the École du Louvre will be available between 3pm
