Paris Photo is the most prestigious contemporary photography fair in the world. Dealers from around the world travel to Paris every fall to set up a booth in the Grand Palais, where the fair is held. Having just been to FIAC a few weeks earlier, I felt good about knowing my way around the Grand Palais. It was my first visit to this particular fair however, and I must say it’s quite beautiful! While photography sells for considerably less than contemporary art, there’s definitely no loss of magic here. In fact, I enjoy that most of these photographs are attainable, meaning there are real people and places behind them…
Here are some of my favorite picks from this year’s fair:
Laurence Miller Gallery
Galerie m Bochum
Grafika la Estampa
East Wing Gallery
XIPPAS Gallery
This piece is huge! I asked the gallerist if the work had already been sold, and she said, “Oh yes, many times!”
Galerie Esther Woerdehoff
Benrubi Gallery
Taka Ishii
Christophe Guye Gallery
Howard Greenberg Gallery
Ben Brown Fine Arts
Hamilton Gallery
