A New Fair Driven by Proven Experience

Driven by DS Office, the cultural engineering department of Drawing Society, Signatures Art Fair was born from a dual observation: the desire to support artists in developing their edition practices and galleries' commitment to sustaining all forms of their artists' creation while reaching new audiences.
For nearly twenty years, DS Office has brought together artists, galleries, collectors, institutions, and art enthusiasts through projects such as Drawing Now Paris, the Drawing Lab, and the Drawing Factory. Over the years, a genuine community has formed around these gatherings, united by a shared curiosity for contemporary creation and those who bring it to life.
With Signatures Art Fair, Drawing Society opens a new field of exploration around limited edition modern and contemporary art. The fair brings together galleries and publishers presenting prints, photographs, artists' books, edition sculptures, collectible design, and artists' objects.
Major works from the 20th century engage in dialogue with today's contemporary artists, revealing the full richness of these practices that occupy a growing place in both private and institutional collections.
Conceived as a place of discovery, encounters, and transmission, Signatures Art Fair addresses established collectors, art enthusiasts, and those who wish to discover new ways of experiencing and collecting art.
Signatures Art Fair is led by Carine Tissot, founder of the project, and Mathias Coullaud, development director, together with the entire DS Office team, organizer of Drawing Now Paris since 2007.
