Paris Photo 2012 Highlights Three Museum Collections
Paris Photo 2012, held at the Grand Palais, features three international museum collections showcasing recent acquisitions: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Huis Marseille in Amsterdam, and the Fotomuseum Winterthur. LACMA presents 'Face to Face,' a selection of self-portraits from the Audrey and Sidney Irmas collection, including works by Christian Boltanski, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Cindy Sherman. Huis Marseille, founded in 1999 as Amsterdam's first photography museum, exhibits 'Doubling Presence,' exploring visual doubling through artists like Jacqueline Hassink and Rinko Kawauchi. The Fotomuseum Winterthur, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2013, presents 'Cut / Paste' on image appropriation, featuring Sherrie Levine and Martha Rosler, and 'Body Language' at the Swiss Cultural Centre in Paris until December 16, 2012. The fair expanded its cultural offerings after moving to the Grand Palais in 2011.
