For the 17th edition Paris Photo  2013 presents a selection of 164 international galleries, publishers and booksellers.

Program & events:

The « Private Collection » exhibit introduces visitors to the pioneering role played by private collectors who, driven by their own passion and perseverance, gather masterpieces and develop new approaches. This year Paris Photo hosts a selection of works from Harald Falckenberg‘s collection showcasing his perspective on the medium of photography. The Falckenberg Collection comprises over 2,000 works of contemporary art which are shown on 6,000 square feet in a former factory building in Hamburg. Since 2011, the Falckenberg Collection is part of Deichtorhallen Hamburg, one of Europe’s leading exhibition centres for contemporary art and photography.

The « Open Book » exhibit taken from Martin Parr‘s collection will present a set of Protest Photo Books, photography pamphlets covering uprisings from the second half of the 20th century to today. They mainly have been published after WW2 in Japan, Latin America but also in Europe. These books can both be considered as pieces documenting protest movements, and as a form of protest themselves.
