At a time when photography is undergoing a transformation through innovative practices, and when Artificial Intelligence is making headway, the second-hand photo market continues to expand, and vintage photography continues to appeal.
Since 1964, the Foire Internationale de la Photo, founded by Jean and André Fage and organised by the Photoclub Paris-Val-de-Bièvre with the support of the Commune de Bièvres, has kept pace with developments in photography. It remains the must-attend event for collectors and enthusiasts, renowned for its second-hand market and photographic antiques, its new market and services, its artists‘ market, its conferences and its photographers’ exhibitions. The Fair has developed in many different ways, while reinventing itself with a wide range of offerings. Every year, it welcomes some 250 exhibitors.
FLORE: Guest of honour at the fair
FLORE will be the Fair’s guest of honour, following in the footsteps of Patrick Bard, Jane Evelyn Atwood, Isabelle Muñoz, John and Claude Batho, Olivier Culmann, Denis Bourges, Claudine
Doury, Patrick Tourneboeuf, Xavier Lambours and Pentti Sammallahti.
FLORE is a Franco-Spanish photographic artist who lives and works between Paris and her studio in Hauts-de-France. She is represented by Galerie Clémentine de la Féronnière.
Winner of the Nadar Prize in 2020 and the Prix de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts – Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière in 2018, she produces her series over a long period of time, often while travelling.
