This selection of works by Black photographers 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 Black photographers between roughly 1950 and the present. The competition to join this group was fierce (signaling a growing momentum for works by Black photographers at fairs like this one), with works by Gordon Parks, Carrie Mae Weems, Deana Lawson, Seydou Keïta, Arielle Bobb-Willis, Ming Smith, Renee Cox, Lola Flash, Jamel Shabazz, and ...
