This selection of Asian photography was drawn from the booths at Paris Photo 2023. For further background on how and why this “collection” was formed, and the structure of the resulting slideshow, visit the introductory page (here). This collection consists of 20 works made by Asian photographers between roughly 1930 and the present. Competition was similarly tough to join this group, with well recognized names like Nobuyoshi Araki, Shin Yanigasawa, Shohei Nishino, Eikoh Hosoe, Miho Kajioka, Pixy Liao, and others ultimately left off the team, but the overall “collection” feels somewhat more uneven than the other three, perhaps in terms ...

This is Part 3 of our summary report on Paris Photo 2021, focusing on the booths in Section C of the fair. Part 1 of the report (here) explains the format used in the detailed slideshow below, provides some background for the discussion, and covers Section A of the fair. Part 2 (which covers Section B) follows here. It is certainly possible to jump directly into any one of these individual reports, but if you want or need a bit more context, return to Part 1 as a starting point.... Read more at Collector Daily.

This is Part 5 of our summary report on Paris Photo 2017. Part 1 of the report (here) explains the rationale behind the decision to feature only female photographers this year and includes an explanation of the format used in the detailed slideshow below.

While it is certainly possible to jump into the middle of our Paris Photo 2016 summary reports and find your way directly to your favorite galleries, starting at the beginning and working through the booths systematically may make the most sense.

Part 2 (the middle left) is located here and Part 3 (the middle right) is located here for those that want to jump around. This Part 4 of ... Read more at Collector Daily.

Yesterday morning, we published our Part 3 booth-by-booth summary of Paris Photo in the hazy wake of the frightening terrorist attacks here in Paris, not entirely sure of what was happening in the city or of what might come next. A day later, we now know that as part of a national period of mourning for the victims, all of the public buildings throughout the area will remain closed, including the Grand Palais. So the fair is closed, and will not reopen. In the context of what has gone on here, the stubborn desire not to let the terrorists change our lives even one ... Read more at Collector Daily.

As I sat roughly shoehorned into my redeye flight from New York in advance of yesterday’s elegant Paris Photo opening, I found myself pondering the impenetrable question of what I was really trying to accomplish at this year’s fair. Paris Photo has clearly secured its place as the premier event on the art calendar for photography collectors; it’s bigger, broader, and better presented than any other photography fair out there. An undeniable smorsgasbord of photographic delights awaited me inside the dazzling glass atrium of the Grand Palais, almost certainly too many to absorb in any one visit, so unless the idea was simply to have a leisurely ...

While there are plenty of well run art fairs in New York every year to keep us locals happy, Paris Photo has cemented its place as the singular standout event on the art calendar for photography collectors. Held in the expansive vaulted space of the Grand Palais, it brings together a wider selection of galleries than the AIPAD show and smartly crosses into the world of photobooks with booths from publishers and rare book dealers alike. If “more” is what you’re after, than Paris Photo is like drinking from a firehose. The idea that an art fair can be “reviewed” like any ... Read more at Collector Daily.
