Abstract: This article examines the new conditions prevailing in the art world of the early 21st century, which were gradually initiated in the previous decades. Thus, artistic creation is held in an international, globalised context, since limits are no longer restrictive in this age. As art globalization progresses, Greek artists continue to display a particular preference to Paris, as French education and culture undeniably had a decisive influence on Greece. There has been a discussion over the new standards and the country's effort to formulate a cultural policy adapted to the new realities of globalization, the emergence of new artistic institutions, where we encounter the Greek artists, alongside their presence in traditional group or solo events. Articles in the daily and periodical press document the strong bond that still exists between Greece and France, yet its nature is honorary rather than fundamental, as Greek artists no longer choose the Schools of Fine Arts of Paris.
