The 2026 Salon du dessin
in pictures
A look at all the stands at the 34th edition of the Salon du Dessin, which offers a fine balance between historical, modern and contemporary drawing.
True to its intimate format, which fosters a genuine connection between dealers and visitors – whether connoisseurs or novices – the Salon du dessin brings together 39 exhibitors.
With a significant proportion of foreign galleries (18 from 7 different countries), this edition welcomes four new galleries: the American gallery Demisch Danant, presenting a solo exhibition of works by Eugène Isabey (1803–1886), the Antwerp-based gallery of old master art, Lowet de Wotrenge; the contemporary art gallery La Forest Divonne, with locations in France and Belgium; and the Jean-François Cazeau gallery.
Several galleries are returning after one or more years’ absence: W.M. Brady & Co, Françoise Livinec, Marty de Cambiaire, Nathalie Motte Masselink, Stephen Ongpin Fine Art and Benjamin Peronnet.
The Salon du dessin occupies a unique place in the international art fair scene:
it quite simply has no equivalent.
