art guide to paris art week basel

The Louvre was forced to close on Sunday after a daylight heist of jewelry that Napoleon III had given to his wife, Eugenie, an operation that took under 10 minutes. The incident has highlighted ongoing issues at the world's most-visited museum, including understaffing and a shortage of surveillance cameras, with commentators linking the problems to French political turmoil. Meanwhile, the fourth edition of Art Basel Paris is set to open at the Grand Palais, featuring 206 galleries (63 with locations in France), serving as the centerpiece of a packed Paris Art Week with exhibitions, public programs, and gallery events.

Paul Leong, a Hawaii-born finance executive and co-chair of Friends at the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, discusses his provocative art collection in an interview with Cultured. Leong favors challenging, conceptual works that he describes as "ugly painting," including pieces by Merlin Carpenter, Jana Euler, Matt Browning, Claire Fontaine, Michael E. Smith, Rayan Yasmineh, and Stefan Tcherepnin. He credits art advisor Thea Westreich with teaching him to prioritize meaning over appearance, and recounts the hard-won acquisition of a Jana Euler work from a 2020 show at Artists Space in New York after persistent engagement with her galleries.
