High Art was born in 2013 from a desire to bring together distinct perspectives that are significant to current paradigms in contemporary art. Since its inception, High Art has functioned to provide an economic and logistic framework for artists by reexamining established modes of art commerce while attempting to account for an expanding field of art.

In May of 2017, High Art inaugurated a flagship location in the heart of the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France. The space, which is located on the ground floor of an 19th century Haussmannian building, is particularly notable for housing Georges Bizet while he wrote the opera “Carmen”.

In December of 2020, High Art opened a second exhibition space in a XIIth century medieval chapel in the heart of Arles, France.
