Paris Photo is a unique occasion to discover in the heart of the capital the best
of photography from the 19th century through the present day. For its 18th edition, Paris Photo presents 169 French and international galleries and publishers/art book dealers representing 35 countries world-wide.

A rich ensemble of exhibitions completes this panorama offering our visitors a broad perspective and appreciation of the field. 

Two important exhibitions will be presented at the salon d'honneur. The Museum of Modern Art will present a selection of their programme of recent acquisitions (2013-2014), demonstrating the institution’s pioneering force for the promotion of the language of photography, and the private collection of The Alkazi Collection of Photography, with meticulously staged and ornamented painted photographs from India and Southern Asia.

The Paris Photo Platform, organized by independent curator Urs Stahel, will reunite artists, curators, historians, and writers, promoting reflection and exchange with a cycle of conversations.

Continuing the narrative of the photobook, this year’s Open Book exhibition is dedicated to artists books published between the 1960s and today with singular works by many of photography’s most innovative protagonists.

In partnership with Aperture Foundation, Paris Photo presents the 4th annual PhotoBook Awards introducing a new category for the “Photography Catalogue of the Year”.
