exhibition · 2026-05-05

The 2017 edition of Photo Saint-Germain presents five photography exhibitions across Paris, running from early November. At the Académie des beaux-arts, Bruno Fert's solo show "Refuge" documents refugee stories through landscapes and border spaces, winning the academy's photography prize. Galerie Dina Vierny and Galerie Le Minotaure jointly display twenty diptychs by Frank Horvat, previewing his "Horvatyear" in 2018 for his 90th birthday. Galerie Meyer Oceanic & Eskimo Art hosts Weegee's crime and urban scenes from the 1930s-40s, organized by Galerie Daniel Blau. The Centre Tchèque de Paris features Jaromír Funke's surrealist and cubist-inspired black-and-white photographs. Finally, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura presents Guido Guidi's architectural photographs of Le Corbusier buildings alongside Monica Biancardi's seven-year research project "RiMembra."
