A centenary of style: why Art Deco's market appeal is evergreen

Art Deco, the French-led Modernist style that flourished between the world wars, is experiencing a centenary peak this autumn. A major exhibition at Paris’s Musée des Arts Décoratifs, titled "1925-2025: One Hundred Years of Art Deco" (through April 2026), leads institutional celebrations, with smaller shows at the Musée Zadkine and Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, and a poster survey at the London Transport Museum. The style is also prominent on the art fair circuit: Eileen Gray’s Dragon armchair (1917-19) was redisplayed at FAB Paris, Galerie Jacques Lacoste featured a Deco stand at PAD London, and focused presentations are planned at Salon Art + Design in New York. Galleries like Galerie Marcilhac are expanding, with a new Paris space and plans to showcase Deco designers at upcoming fairs.
