Art Basel Paris 2025 returns to the Grand Palais, with off-site events across the city. For those without fair tickets, galleries throughout Paris are hosting notable shows alongside the fair, including Gerhard Richter at David Zwirner, Robert Rauschenberg's 'Gluts' series at Thaddaeus Ropac, Hans Op de Beeck at Templon, and Heinz Mack at Almine Rech. The article highlights ten must-see gallery exhibitions running concurrently with the fair.

This roundup matters because it captures the broader cultural ecosystem surrounding Art Basel Paris, demonstrating how the fair energizes the entire Paris art scene. The featured shows range from blue-chip retrospectives (Richter, Rauschenberg) to contemporary sculptural installations (Op de Beeck), reflecting the diversity of offerings available to collectors and art enthusiasts during one of the most important weeks in the European art calendar.
