Paris Photo Los Angeles has come to an end. Financially, the galleries saw mixed results, although they fared better than the doomsayers predicted. The festival will go on: director Julien Frydman has just signed on for two more years with Paramount. The event was a huge success. We will someday look back and perceive a before and after Paris Photo LA. We can only hope that other fairs and festivals will take its successes into consideration when reviewing how to bring new life to themselves. On the fringes of the festival were two sublime exhibitions in Los Angeles: 50 photographs by Diane Arbus at David Fahey, the city’s greatest gallery (although it did not exhibit at the festival), and an extraordinary display of war photographs at the equally stunning photography museum of the Annenberg Foundation in Century City. The event offered one delight after another. Now one last time, so as to feel the warmth of this magic moment as long as possible, let us revisit a few photographs by Andy Romanoff, Eric Kroll, Nicolas Dhervillers, Séverine Morel and Remi Carlioz.
