At Lydia Duanmu Art Talk, we aim to serve as a cultural bridge between Western and Asian art, bringing forward the most cutting-edge stories and insights from the global art world. Our mission is to explore the intersection of creativity, tradition, and innovation, providing a platform for artists, curators, and cultural leaders to share their journeys. By connecting diverse artistic perspectives, we hope to inspire new dialogues and foster deeper cultural understanding.

In this episode, we take you to Paris, a city that has transformed from an ancient vessel of art into the center of the contemporary art world. With Art Basel officially landing in Paris, a wave of emerging galleries and art fairs has sprung up, marking a new golden age of contemporary art for the city.

Amid this transformation, veteran artist Maurice Marty embraces the challenges with openness and curiosity. At over 80 years old, Marty’s creative journey spans sculpture, architecture, and fashion, with works reflecting the legacy of modernist masters and a deep love for life. His collaboration with new galleries has brought him a renewed sense of inspiration and creative freedom.

In the fashionable art district of Saint-Germain, we also speak with young gallerist Hamid to discuss the future of the art market, where the old and the new converge. Both believe that Paris, with its inclusive and curious spirit, is embracing artistic diversity and paving the way for a new artistic revolution.

Follow us as we explore how Paris, the “awakening sleeping beauty,” is shining brighter than ever, inspiring new possibilities in the contemporary art world!
