151 exhibitors and more than 1000 artists, 4 days of conferences and 2 prizes. A rich new edition in Paris with the exhibitions "Recent Acquisitions", "Private Collection" and "Open Book" as well as official partners' exhibitions & associated events. In 2012, it is David Lynch that the Fair entrusts with the task of choosing from among the works exhibited by the gallery owners.
This unique panorama comes again with an ambitious programming with the exhibitions "Recent Acquisitions", "Private Collection" and "Open Book" as well as official partners' exhibitions & associated events.
The Fair is also punctuated by book signings, the Paris Photo – Aperture Foundation Photobook Awards, and talks by the panel members on the Platform with, among others, Hilla Becher, Rem Koolhaas and David Lynch.
The latter has also selected around a hundred photographs from the participating galleries. His choice will be presented as a book: Paris Photo vu par David Lynch and a course through the heart of the Fair to be found on our mobile app.
For the first time, Paris Photo puts in place an original journey within the galleries: "Paris Photo vu par...", which will be entrusted to a different personality each year.
In 2012, it is David Lynch that the Fair entrusts with the task of choosing from among the works exhibited by the gallery owners. The resulting journey of that selection will be identified in the Fair and a book will be published by Steidl.
An original way for the public to contemplate the works whilst at the same time discovering David Lynch's aesthetic universe.
A portfolio of the 99 photographs selected is on view on our Mobile Application
