Paris Photo 2013: A Selection (NSFW)
Here’s a selection of some photographs and photographers that I wouldn’t mind to have in my collection, or that I didn’t know or just caught my attention in the Paris Photo 2013 along with some of the classics and masters. Some were quite interesting as single photographs, others as installations of series of photographs.
Nobuyoshi Araki, had an installation with 162 photographs, right in front of the works by Eikoh Hosoe that I wrote already about in the previous post.

Richard Learoyd, 2 wonderful portraits of Agnes, makes her enchanted human character in her fragility, as if warmed by the tones.

Yes, Vee Speers caught my attention with her technique of hand colouring over photographs. A series that she did some years ago and now picked up to paint: Bulletproof. You can see more of her work in the previous post as well.

And Julie Blackmon, here with her “Chaise”.

And at Gallerie Camera Obscura, where you could see Jungjen Lee who I interviewed last year, you can also see the wonderful work of Marc Riboud: here you have “Chine”, taken in 1957.
At the same gallery there’s also the photograph “Gun Factory Worker” by Max Pan, from 1993. Excelent works as always.

and finally
The Unmade Bed, 1957, by Imogen Cunningham.

Of course that on the previous posts you can also find the rest of my selection, but with such overdose of photography in 5 hours walking around you get lost in shopping. To be honest I was just afraid of finding more Jurgen Teller or even Terry Richardson.
Anyway, I want all these anonymous hand painted photographs:

Is there any photographs, here in any of these 3 posts, that you like specially?
