Ceramic Art Paris
Featuring 23 French and international galleries, the inaugural Ceramic Art Fair takes places this week, between October 21-25, at the Maison de l’Amérique latine, including installations in the building’s elegant garden.
Ceramic Art Paris, the city’s first major event entirely devoted to ceramics and glass, opens this autumn as part of the October satellite art fair program. From 21 to 25 October 2025, the Maison de l’Amérique latine will host 23 French and international galleries in an elegant, intimate setting, turning the historic Hôtel Amelot de Gournay into a collector’s home of sorts.
Founded by Victoria Denis and Hélène de Vanssay, Ceramic Art Fair aims to highlight the full breadth of ceramic and glass art across time, from ancient works to cutting-edge contemporary creations. “With Ceramic Art Fair, we wanted to respond to a clearly expressed need: that of an event entirely devoted to the ceramic and glass arts,” explain the co-founders. “We have opted for a carefully compiled selection, shaped by a committee whose perspectives are complementary — curators, artists, collectors, gallerists. This approach guarantees coherence and quality, but also a sense of boldness. It allows visitors to discover a well-balanced panorama spanning antiquity, modernity and the contemporary.”
Under the curatorial theme “Modernity Across the Ages,” the fair encourages a dialogue between past and present—between the elemental gestures of clay and fire and the experimental spirit of modern design. Exhibitors range from specialists in Chinese and European ceramics to avant-garde studios redefining material boundaries. Highlights include the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres’s collaboration with gallerist Camille Leprince, juxtaposing 18th-century masterpieces with contemporary porcelain pieces; Spazio Nobile presents a curated selection of ceramics works by Bela Silva, Päivi Rintaniemi and Ann Beate Tempelhaug, whose Plein Air ceramic sculpture will be installed in the garden. In addition they will present works by glass artist Asa Jungnelius, who currently has an exhibition on view in Istanbul’s Pera Museum.
Other highlights include Denmark’s Køppe Contemporary Objects, which unveils monumental celadon and oxblood-glazed vases by Michael Geertsen, and Galerie Lefevre & Fils, which is showing pieces by Theo Ouaki and the American artist Kartini Thomas, whose work will be in the garden. Architect Luis Laplace contributes a bespoke dining installation celebrating French craftsmanship, featuring Lalique glassware, Gien faience, porcelain creations by Marie Daâge, Pierre Frey fabrics and floral compositions from Maison Lachaume, while landscape designer Sébastien Habert transforms the gardens into a contemplative open-air trail where ceramics and glass interact with light and nature.
The fair will feature a program of talks that will bring together leading specialists including Antoinette Faÿ-Hallé, honorary curator of Sèvres, and Mael Bellec, of the Musée Cernuschi.
The fair’s founders envision the inaugural Ceramic Art Fair as a vital platform connecting collectors, decorators, institutions, and the public. “Our ambition,” says Denis, “is to bring together a discerning scene, to create connections and foster new perspectives.” Ceramic Art Fair is on view between October 21-25, 2025.
