“Booby” selected for the Salon d’Automne

Salon d’Automne 2025

The Salon d’Automne 2025 will be held on the Place de la Concorde from October 29 to November 2, 2025.
In two pavilions with a total surface area of ​​4,000 m², more than 1,000 artists from 48 different nationalities will exhibit their works, presenting a wide range of contemporary artistic trends.
The artists will be presented in artistic sections: Painting, Sculpture, Engraving, Drawing, Photography, Environmental Art, Myths & Singularities, Unknown Worlds, Digital Art, Artists’ Books, and Architecture.
Several partners, art associations, and galleries will have dedicated spaces; we are delighted to have them on board with us on this adventure. The Japanese association Club des Amis de l’Europe et des Arts (CAEA), with which we have maintained a close relationship since 1975, will present 96 artists. The German association BBK, with which we have worked for several years, will exhibit the works of 10 artists.
Several galleries will introduce us to the works of contemporary artists, and our partner Passage Clouté, with its gallery LAB Galerie, will present urban artists and lead creative workshops for a young audience.
The artist Mika Ichikawa, who honors us by participating in the Salon d’Automne each year, and the artist Elisabeth Ollé Curiel will exhibit their works in dedicated spaces.
This 122nd edition, anchored in the present and concerned with the urgent needs of our time, is part of the global ocean preservation program: The Sea in Common. Our Patron, Louis Burton, a great sailor, will bring us the open sea, as well as his vision and commitment to ocean conservation.
Works of various kinds by artists committed to the theme of the sea and its protection will be exhibited in a dedicated space; these creations will interact with scientific data to enrich reflection and cross-examine perspectives. To further this educational goal, lectures, debates, round tables, and film screenings will be offered throughout the Salon. The Tara Foundation will contribute all its experience and knowledge to inform and enrich the discussions.
Serge Guérin, guest of this edition, a specialist in the broad issue of aging, will engage with the artists based on works created on this theme.
To keep our memory alive, several major works by the great artist Mac’Avoy, a leading figure of the Salon d’Automne, president from 1969 to 1981 and again from 1986 to 1991, will be exhibited. The “BOOST Young Artists” program, established in recent years, continues its commitment to young artists by offering them exhibition rights.
This edition is remarkable for the quality of the works presented, but also for its program, which focuses on a theme as important as the protection of the sea. Art is a powerful means of expression and communication on crucial issues; the Salon d’Automne is certainly at this juncture.
The Salon d’Automne is a major and unique event in the world of artistic life; its associative model guarantees its integrity and strength. The united artists have a prestigious venue to exhibit their works, to meet a wide audience, and to share their experiences.
It is the artists who give this Salon all its strength and uniqueness. Passionate artists who remain loyal to the Salon d’Automne and its spirit; on behalf of the members of the Board of Directors, I extend my warmest thanks to them. I also thank all the members of the Board of Directors, the members of the Executive Committee, and the administrative team, a solid and experienced team that organizes this annual exhibition every year and contributes to its great success.
We are all here to create this magical moment, and we look forward to seeing you there.

President of the Salon d’Automne
