For its eighth edition, this unmissable contemporary Asian art fair has moved to a historic location in the capital, the Monnaie de Paris. This year's theme, Fires of joy, associated the arts of fire with, among others, Your Daytime Fireworks  of the artist Cai Guo-Qiang, to those of ceramics or glass and metal. Seventy-five international galleries presented 250 emerging or confirmed artists. The best of the artistic scenes of Asia and the diaspora was thus brought together on one and a half hectares.
