Signatures Art Fair: Collecting Art Beyond the Canvas
izabella Rajh
From Joan Miró to Takashi Murakami, limited-edition art takes centre stage in Paris this November. Signatures Art Fair opens at Carreau du Temple from 13 to 15 November 2026. The new event invites visitors to discover modern and contemporary art through original editions, prints, objects and more.
Organised by Drawing Society, the team behind Drawing Now Paris since 2007, Signatures Art Fair brings together 37 exhibitors. Galleries, publishers and specialist workshops from France and across Europe showcase their artists’ work. Together, they reveal the creative possibilities of limited editions across generations, disciplines and techniques.
A Broader View of Original Art
Signatures Art Fair focuses on original works conceived to exist in multiple copies. These editions are not simply reproductions of existing artworks. Instead, artists develop them as distinct creations, often exploring techniques, materials and ideas beyond their usual practice. Consequently, editions offer collectors another way to understand an artist’s creative vision.

The fair presents a broad range of formats, including lithographs, engravings, screenprints, photography and artist books. Sculptures, jewelry and edited design objects also demonstrate how edition-based art extends beyond paper. Moreover, the program highlights the collaborations between artists, printers, publishers and galleries that bring these works to life.
Signatures Art Fair Connecting Artists and Collectors
The contributing exhibitors represent a wide range of approaches to contemporary and modern editions. Almine Rech Editions presents works connected to artists including Genieve Figgis, Claire Tabouret, Jeff Koons and Richard Prince. Meanwhile, Alzueta Gallery brings together Joan Miró and Alex Katz alongside contemporary artists Jordi Alcaraz, Klas Ernflo and Regina Giménez.

Perrotin Store & Perrotin Editions makes its first appearance at Signatures Art Fair. Its selection includes limited editions and prints by Takashi Murakami, Sophie Calle, Lee Bae, Jean-Michel Othoniel and Xavier Veilhan. In addition, Semiose presents editions by Amélie Bertrand, Françoise Pétrovitch, Laurent Proux, Ernest T. and Xie Lei.
Other exhibitors broaden the fair’s international perspective. Brussels-based La Patinoire Royale Bach showcases Carlos Cruz-Diez, Jeanne Susplugas and Joana Vasconcelos. Galerie Wagner, meanwhile, explores kinetic art through works by Cruz-Diez and Jesús-Rafael Soto. In Marseille, Tchikebe brings together editions by Nina Childress, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Annette Messager and Thu Van Tran.

Parisian exhibitors also demonstrate the variety of edition-making today. Atelier Clot, Bramsen & Co explores contemporary printmaking through collaborations with artists including Pierre Alechinsky and Silvère Jarrosson. AD Galerie Montpellier presents works by Robert Combas and Hervé Di Rosa. Elsewhere, Galerie Alain Gutharc combines artworks, textiles, lighting and limited-edition furniture to suggest how collecting can shape domestic spaces.
Art for Different Budgets and Ways of Living
Signatures Art Fair also challenges the idea that collecting must begin with a major investment. Prices range from €50 to more than €100,000, creating opportunities for first-time buyers and established collectors. As a result, visitors can explore different formats, discover emerging practices and develop their own tastes.

Founder Carine Tissot captures this welcoming philosophy simply: “A collection can begin with a single artwork.” This idea also connects the fair with everyday living. Choosing an artwork creates a personal relationship with an artist, while its meaning can evolve over time.
Ultimately, Signatures Art Fair gives limited-edition art a dedicated platform in Paris. By bringing galleries, publishers, workshops and audiences together, the event reveals the richness of an often-overlooked field. It also encourages visitors to look beyond the unique object and appreciate the creative decisions behind every edition.
