"Paris Photo returns to the Grand Palais this week for its 28th edition (until 16 November), bringing together 220 exhibitors, including 178 galleries and 42 publishers from 33 countries. The fair opens at a moment of change and uncertainty for the photography sector: 81,000 visitors attended the previous edition in 2024, yet dealers report slower acquisitions at the top of the market, increased production costs and reduced risk-taking among collectors."
"This year, across the 37 solo booths dedicated to a single artist, certain threads were possible to discern: a pronounced resurgence of Japanese galleries, the visibility of Latin American archives and contemporary practices and the presence of new bodies of work by both established figures-Sally Mann among them-and younger French and British photographers such as Marine Lanier and Jack Davison. Notably, women artists now account for 39% of practitioners exhibited, up from 20% in 2018."
Paris Photo returns to the Grand Palais for its 28th edition with 220 exhibitors, including 178 galleries and 42 publishers from 33 countries. The fair opens amid market uncertainty: 81,000 visitors attended the previous edition in 2024, yet dealers report slower top-end acquisitions, higher production costs and reduced collector risk-taking. Paris Photo presents a broad survey of the medium rather than fixed curatorial themes. Among 37 solo booths, patterns include a resurgence of Japanese galleries, greater visibility for Latin American archives and new work by established and younger photographers. Nine Tokyo-based galleries returned since 2019, and MEM showed prints from the August 6 Hiroshima Day student project (1968–1971). Women artists now comprise 39% of practitioners exhibited, up from 20% in 2018.
