In 2006, Art Paris was one of the first events to take up its quarters under the glass roof of the newly restored Grand Palais, and has been back every year. Since it was inaugurated in 1998, Art Paris has, in the last decade, become a highlight on the international art calendar and a major event on the Paris scene.
A meeting point for professionals of the modern and contemporary art markets, the show each year draws a growing number of loyal collectors and art-lovers (41,000 visitors in 2008).

For the 4th year in succession, the Art Paris show was held in the Grand Palais. The 2010 edition introduced a new concept: Art Paris + Guests. Instead of just a series of booths, Art Paris + Guests presented exclusive artistic projects in which the exhibitors worked with "guest" partners from the worlds of literature, design, cinema, and gastronomy… This new concept pushes back the boundaries of traditional art exhibitions, creating a new format for a modern and contemporary art fair.
