Willy Rizzo started taking picture at eighteen before being hired by France Dimanche to cover the first Cannes Film Festival and becoming one of the pillars of Paris Match and a contributor to Vogue magazine for over 20 years. In 1996, in Rome, for his friends at first, he designed elegantly simple furniture that was both contemporary and avant-garde. A book devoted to Rizzo has just been published by Contrejour, and several exhibitions of his work have been organized as part of the Month of Photography. The first will be held on the Rue de Verneuil, in the photographer’s famous studio, while the two others will be presented at Artcurial and in the Artazart bookstore. In November the exhibition will move to Switzerland.
