Antoine Dufilho: the 2026 exhibition calendar
Between contemporary art fairs, temporary exhibitions in prestigious venues and permanent installations in several European countries, 2026 promises to be a busy year for Antoine Dufilho. From Touquet-Paris-Plage to Silverstone, from Saint-Paul-de-Vence to Luxembourg, his monumental sculptures continue to gain ground. Eight countries, several major fairs, new models on three fronts at once: here’s the complete panorama.
Currently: Le Lavoir de Mougins
The year begins with a notable presence at the Lavoir de Mougins, a contemporary art venue anchored in the Alpes-Maritimes village that was long Picasso’s refuge. Antoine Dufilho will be exhibiting his work there from February 27 to March 16, 2026. This is one of the first stages in a calendar that leaves little room for pauses.
Contemporary art fairs 2026
Fairs are an important part of Dufilho’s agenda: they enable him to reach collectors and art lovers in a market setting, far removed from the institutional circuit.
Lille Art Up!: March 12 to 15, 2026
Art Up! is Lille’s contemporary art fair, one of the most important in northern France. Antoine Dufilho is a regular: it was here that he unveiled Red Racing Flower, a monumental work inspired by the Ferrari 330 P4, and more recently Gunmetal Symphony, his 4.30-meter Porsche 911 in stainless steel tubes. This 2026 edition, from March 12 to 15, marks the start of the fair season for Dufilho.
Art Antibes: March 24 to April 30, 2026
The Antibes Contemporary Art Fair welcomes Antoine Dufilho from March 24 to April 30, 2026. He will be presenting the sculpture 2.7 l RS Vitesse, an original model that illustrates the artist’s new orientation around the concept of kinetic speed. This is the first public presentation of this piece. All theartist’s news is available on his website.
Start Strasbourg and Art Basel Miami: dates to be confirmed
Two other fairs are on the 2026 program: Start Strasbourg and Art Basel Miami. The exact dates had not yet been announced at the time of publication of this article. Art Basel Miami, one of the world’s best-attended fairs, would represent Dufilho’s first presence in the United States in this format, a market where he is already represented by galleries in Miami, Dallas and Laguna Beach.
Temporary exhibitions: from Paris to Montreal
Hôtel Pullman Tour Eiffel, Paris: June 7 to 30, 2026
In June, Dufilho’s sculptures will make a stopover in Paris, at the Pullman Tour Eiffel Hotel. From June 7 to 30, the hotel will host his creations facing the Eiffel Tower. This is not the first time Dufilho has taken over a Paris hotel of this standing, and the format suits him well.
Ostend, Belgium: date to be confirmed
The Belgian seaside resort of Ostend will host the monumental Porsche 930 Turbo for an exhibition, the exact dates of which will be announced at a later date. Hotel Montreal is also mentioned among the forthcoming exhibition venues, although no exact dates have yet been set.
Permanent installations in Europe
In addition to temporary exhibitions, Dufilho has permanently installed sculptures in several European cities. These pieces can be viewed all year round, independently of any special event.
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage
The Pas-de-Calais resort is home to several works by Dufilho. The monumental Ferrari 330 P4 Red Racing Flower has been permanently installed in front of the Westminster Hotel since 2020. Measuring 4.60 m long and weighing 1.7 tons, its 100 red-lacquered aluminum slats follow the curves of the original Ferrari 330 P4. The Riva Aquarama and a tubular sculpture complete the ensemble. La Dolce Vita, the artist’s first monumental boat sculpture, has been installed on Monaco’s Promenade des Princes since December 2024: 7 meters long, 5.5 tons, rusted corten steel and mirror-polished stainless steel. Le Touquet has become one of the few places in France where you can see several of Dufilho’s sculptures in the open air, without a ticket.
Other permanent sites in Europe
At the Coligny Museum, the two-tone Cameleon Porsche 910 is on display alongside reduced-scale models. The 910 is one of the few sculptures by Dufilho to play with two colors: painted blue on one side and yellow on the other, it creates a third color through reverberation depending on the angle of view.
In Luxembourg, the Gridx space presents the black Formula 1 and the red 250 GTO, accompanied by smaller models. The monumental Bugatti Type 35 is on display at Sainte-Maxime on the Côte d’Azur, and at Vila Real in Portugal, created to mark the Type 35’s centenary. In England, the Silverstone circuit hosts a blue version of the Bugatti Veyron monumental. In Spain, at Empuriabrava, a Formula 1 in stainless steel on a corten base completes the network.
New models coming in 2026
At the same time, Dufilho is working on a series of new models. On the car side: Ferrari 296 GTB, Porsche GT3 Touring, Porsche Turbo S, 917, 488 Pista, Aston Martin DB7. On the nautical side, he tackles a J-Class, a catamaran, a new Riva Aquarama and a Wally Boat Power 118. They follow in the footsteps of La Dolce Vita and Riva Monumental. On the aviation side: Blackbird, P-38, F-16 and a model called Speedier, continuing the work begun with the Rafale and Concorde.
Also of note is an Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato in transparent resin, a technical first for the artist. These pieces will be presented over the months on the site’s models page.
