Paris Photo at Grand Palais Éphémère

200 galleries and publishers. The event – Paris Photo – draws from the four corners of the world, galleries and publishers, artists, institutions, collectors, curators, key players, and enthusiasts in this ever-evolving ecosystem eager to exchange and make new discoveries in photography.

Rossy de Palma is the Guest of Honor for the 25th edition. A multidisciplinary artist shares her vision through an itinerary of 25 photographs that she has selected from among the gallery proposals, according to her sensibilities, her impulses, or in tribute to friends, such as William Klein, who passed away this year.
