La Belle Zélie (1806). Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (French, 1780-1867). Oil on canvas. Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen.

The "subtle hint of vulgarity" (V. Pomarède) in this portrait probably earned it the subsequent nickname of La Belle Zélie, after a song popular in painters’ studios at the time of David. This is a youthful work by Ingres, a pupil of David. The subject, long identified wrongly as Madame Aymon, is young, with a delightful sensuality full of curves and curls. The beautiful oval of the face above its deep décolleté is set off harmoniously by details of the pearl necklace and its clasp, the kiss curls, the slanting comb, the round pupils, full mouth, and the hint of one breast in the curvaceous bosom.

FIAC 2017 / INTERNATIONAL   ART  FAIR

For its 44th edition from 19 to 22 October 2017 in Paris, FIAC will host a carefully balanced selection of leading international galleries in the iconic Grand Palais. FIAC consolidates the presence of major galleries working in the field of modern and contemporary art and confirms its support of the emerging generation, notably via the Lafayette Sector organized in partnership with our official sponsor, the Galeries Lafayette Group. Fresh, eclectic and edgy, this year’s selection is sure to attract wide-spread attention from connaisseurs and amateurs alike. Keen interest from exhibitors in all sectors of the market confirms Paris’s growing appeal.

Increasingly FIAC appears as a must in the autumn calendar.

Launched in 2016, On Site presents sculptures and installations in locations in and around the prestigious Petit Palais: the exhibition spaces, the garden, the esplanade, as well as the Avenue Winston Churchill which will be transformed into a pedestrian zone for the duration of FIAC. On Site is organized in collaboration with Christophe Leribault, (Director and curator of the Petit Palais) and Eva Wittocx (Senior Curator, M-Museum Leuven), associate curator for 2017. The list of participating galleries will be announced shortly.

FIAC reaffirms its strong cultural mission through the Hors Les Murs programme. A program of artworks - unrivalled in scope in the landscape of international art fairs - will be presented in emblematic Parisian sites: the Jardin des Tuileries, the Musée National Eugène Delacroix, and the Place Vendôme. The selection committee for the Jardin des Tuileries, presided by Vincent Pomarède (Curator in Chief, Director of Mediation and Cultural Programming), includes curators from the Musée du Louvre together with Bernard Blistène (Director of the Centre Pompidou, Paris), and Jean de Loisy (President of the Palais de Tokyo, Paris). FIAC will also present the performance festival Parades for FIAC, as well as a series of conferences and screenings of artists’ films. The full programme will be announced soon.

FIAC presents around 193 galleries exhibiting at the Grand Palais, shared between the General Sector and the Lafayette Sector, dedicated to young and emerging galleries.

The On Site sector, launched in 2016, presents in the exceptional exhibitions spaces of the Petit Palais and on the Avenue Winston Churchill, sculptural works and installations.

Hors les Murs programme enables French and international galleries and artists to present sculptures, installations, performances, films, or sound works within public space.
