Les éditions Leal Torres are delighted to announce their participation in the Antibes Art Fair, a modern and contemporary art, design, and crafts fair! The 54th edition of this annual spring event will take place from the 11th to 20th of April 2026, at the Esplanade du Pré des Pêcheurs, at the entrance to Old Antibes.
About the Antibes Art Fair
Located in the heart of the French Riviera since its inception, the Antibes Art Fair has established itself as one of the major events on the European art market. Each year, more than twenty thousand art lovers, collectors, and professionals from around the world gather to discover a carefully curated selection of works presented by nearly one hundred French and international exhibitors.
Originally dedicated to antiquities, the fair has evolved over time to include modern and contemporary art, design, and crafts. Today, this rallying event offers a rich and comprehensive overview of artistic creation, from antiquity to the present day.
Béatrice Di Vita of the Antibes Juan-les-Pins Tourist Office & Convention Bureau will serve as the curator of this 54th edition, while the French photographer Philippe Shangti, a leading figure on the international contemporary art scene, will serve as its patron.
The design and crafts fair, an immersion in contemporary creation
Awarded the "City of Art and Crafts" label in 2017, the city of Antibes Juan-les-Pins has always cultivated a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and artisanal creation. For the Art Fair, the Antibes Juan-les-Pins tourism office will bring together artisans, creators, and designers in the Design & Crafts space, which will span over 1,000 m² and feature around fifty designers, creators, and artisans showcasing their unique creations.
Conceived as an immersion in contemporary creation, this event will highlight a variety of practices: from sculpted wood to blown glass, including textiles and ceramics, the exhibition will celebrate the richness of the crafts and the passion of those who dedicate themselves body and soul to their practice.
This edition will also have an international dimension, with Spain as the guest of honor, fostering a dialogue between artisanal and cultural traditions, and contemporary international approaches.
It is in this space dedicated to craftsmanship and design that we will share our commitment to traditional and artisanal skills, as well as to materials.
A volume dedicated to the artisans of the book
Les éditions Leal Torres are delighted to present Powers of the Book, their latest publication released in February 2026, at the Antibes Art Fair.
Produced in partnership with the Atelier du Livre d'Art & de l'Estampe of the Imprimerie nationale (IN Groupe), this bilingual edition features an original text by Pierre-Marc de Biasi and five original engravings by the art bookbinder Louise Bescond.
A celebration of the book made of ink and paper and its history, this volume is also a tribute to its creators: authors, artists, and craftspeople, including papermakers, gilders, type designers, and bookbinders, who dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to their craft.
We are delighted to invite you to join us at stand 22 of the Antibes Art Fair, 20 avenue de Verdun, Antibes, 06600, from Saturday, April 11th to Monday, April 20th, 2026, from 11am to 7pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
