1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair

1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, the leading international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and the African diaspora, announces its return to Paris, set to take place over four days from 7 – 10 April 2022. 1-54 Paris at Christie’s will take place in the auction house’s galleries at Avenue Matignon and will feature 23 international exhibitors presenting more than 50 artists from Africa and the African diaspora.

Taking over more exhibition space and hosting a greater number of galleries, the fair will be a larger event than last year’s in Paris, with both VIP and public days to engage with new and existing audiences. The fair will also be accompanied by 1-54 Forum, the fair’s multi-disciplinary programme of talks, screenings, performances, workshops, and readings, with more details to be announced at a later date.

Thanks to 1-54’s long-standing partnership with Artsy, visitors are also able to explore, connect with, and collect from all the galleries and artists online from 7 – 14 April at artsy.net/1-54.
