From the January 17th to February 25th, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris is showing the winners of the Grand Prix of the investment company, Eurazeo. The exhibition is showing a selection of a bout sixty works from the photographic collection, comprising photographs by Floriane de Lassée, Michael Kenna, Georges Rousse.
Any collection is the fruit of a will and desire. It’s the reason why, in a more or less explicit way, it gives information about those who have established it. While it is obvious that the groups have been put together by individuals, since they are free of fads and haven’t yielded to the temptation of compiling a list of names or become kinds of self-portraits, business collections reveal themselves in a more complex way.
