Ghislain Pascal is the co-founder of The Little Black Gallery, one of London’s top photography galleries. He is an avid collector of photography, including many queer photographs, which are to be housed in a new permanent exhibition space at his home in France. The Little Black Gallery is known for its exhibitions and artists celebrating the female form, including their annual Girls! Girls! Girls! show. As a gay man and avid collector of queer photography, Ghislain wanted to shift the focus of visual pleasure onto the exquisitely photographed bodies of beautiful men. So Boys! Boys! Boys! is a sale curated by him for the online auction house Paddle8 and is live now and ends March 19. Ghislain says: “Curating this sale has been really interesting as I have discovered many new talents, including Ryker Allen, Levi Foster, Thomas McCarthy, Ferry van der Nat, and AdeY. Queer and gay photography is blossoming right now and I’m happy to be bringing such a great mix of new work and older classics to attention. Contemporary photographers are continuing a tradition that’s been around for centuries, since Caravaggio and Rubens were delighting in the sensual male form.”
