Paris Photo 2021 Highlights

By 1605 Publishers
Event, Inspiration, Photography

According to Ernest Hemingway, "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." He wrote this in his book "A Movable Feast" (1964), 33 years before the biggest feasts of all - the Paris Photo Fair that was founded in 1997 with an intention to bring artists, art lovers, galleries, gallerists and art book dealers under the same roof. Ernest couldn't even imagine that his favourite city could get even more festive than during his lifetime.

This year's long-awaited 24th Paris Photo edition that took place last week, on the 11th through 14th November, was situated in a different place from the usual Grad Palais exhibition hall. This time, the event happened on the Champ-de-Mars with the view of the Eiffel Tower.

1605 Publishers team was there to check all the photography headlines, meet the artist and of course, recharge the batteries with some extra inspiration. We now bring this treasure to you, dear readers. Enjoy!
