FIAC will start tomorrow, in Paris

From October 18th to 22nd 2007, the FIAC is taking place at the Grand Palais du Louvre and the Cour Carrée at the Louvre Museum, Paris.
This event happens every year and is awaited by a lot of people. The 2007 edition is the 34th for the Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain (FIAC).
In 2005, the Foire had gathered over 220 galeries and welcomed 83 000 visitors. This is an event oftenly controversed because it's modern art and global. For example, in 2005, the artist Raphael Julliard and the galerist Pierre Huber sold in one day 1000 monochromatic paintings (red) at 100€ each, made by Chinese artists. The globalisation in art debat was opened.
FIAC: you either love or hate it but you won't stay neutral. Go there, have a look and form your own opinion.
If you can't wait until tomorrow, you can still enjoy the Wang Du and Barcelo's sculptures at the Tuileries.
