À Paris, le salon unRepresented réunit dans un hôtel particulier des artistes sans galerie
The unRepresented art fair returns to Paris for its fourth edition, taking place from April 10 to 12 at the Hôtel Molière. Founded by Emilia Genuardi, the salon provides a platform for fifteen independent artists who are not currently represented by galleries, allowing them to showcase their work during the busy Art Paris week. This year's selection focuses on artists who "experiment with the image," featuring diverse practices ranging from Regina Anzenberger’s painted photographs to Tania Arancia’s textile-based archival works.
This initiative challenges the traditional art market hierarchy, which typically requires gallery representation for participation in major fairs. By utilizing a patronage model where sponsors cover participation costs and offering free admission to the public, unRepresented creates an alternative ecosystem for emerging and independent talent. It highlights a growing trend of decentralized exhibition models that bypass traditional gatekeepers to connect artists directly with collectors and institutions.
