Paris Photo 2024 - Group show

Les Douches la Galerie is thrilled to announce its participation in Paris Photo 2024. Since 2015, the
gallery's artistic direction has introduced new photographers while continuing to
champion those it has represented for years.

While we remain deeply committed to the intrinsic qualities of the still image,
particularly vintage and unique prints, this year we are diversifying with a heightened
presence of color. Following our recent representation of French artist Joël Denot, in
collaboration with Galerie Modesti Perdriolle (Brussels), Les Douches la Galerie is
pleased to present a selection of high-quality Cibachrome prints, pigment prints, and
Polaroid snapshots. Denot's work explores light and rich chromatic saturation. This
colorful selection will be complemented by previously unseen large format works
and painted Polaroids by South African artist Roger Ballen, represented by the
gallery since fall 2023, along with still lifes by Toni Catany and Ernst
Haas' explorations of movement.

For black-and-white photography enthusiasts, we continue to support iconic
American photographers like Ray K. Metzker, currently featured in a major exhibition
at Fondation A in Brussels, as well as Vivian Maier and surrealist Val Telberg.
Additionally, we will showcase a rare tapestry from Man Ray's Revolving
Doors series, alongside experimental images by Roger Catherineau, Raoul Ubac, and Jean Painlevé, fashion photography by Frank Horvat, intimate photos by Hervé Guibert, Bogdan Konopka’s daily life scenes in China, and Jean-Claude Gautrand’s Métalopolis abstractions, recently celebrated in a major retrospective at
the Réattu Museum in Arles this past summer.
