PARIS PHOTO / Carrousel du Louvre
19 – 22 Nov.
Paris Photo is always a winter highlight. A well as wonderful Robert Doisneaus’ and Neil Libbert vintage prints, we took a selection of contemporary artists new to the gallery, all of whom attracted much attention. Sohei Nishino’s Diorama Maps proved a hit, particularly the Paris version of course, and Daniele Tamagni’s Sapeurs, Nikolay Bakharevs ‘People of Town N’ series and abstract work by young Korean artist Dong Yoon Kim all did well. The mood was more upbeat than last year, boding good things for the art market as we approach 2010.
