The Salon des Beaux Arts 2026 took place at the Orangerie du Sénat in the Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, bringing together French and international artists across a wide range of artistic disciplines.
Organized by the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, an institution with a history dating back to 1862, the Salon continues a tradition associated with artists such as Auguste Rodin, Camille Claudel, Édouard Manet, Suzanne Valadon and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
The 2026 edition was presented in two exhibition periods, featuring painting, sculpture, photography, textile art, works on paper, and other contemporary artistic practices.
The Sculpture Section, co-chaired by Esther Seguin and Marijan Mirt, participated in both exhibition periods, presenting works by 16 artists.
