Paris Photo, by gd79 on Nov 9, 2017 21:17:06 GMT 1, As usual, not exactly front and centre here, but just back from Paris Photo. This is the prime photo event for the year, though I always think more for ideas than buying.
As always, the best place is the photobooks space (offprint London at Tate modern is better for this though). My buy of the year, in fact of my career, was a Daisuke Yokota 'book' which actually consists of ten amazing prints. I bought that a while back, but here too from Goliga (a lovely guy called Ivan).
This time I bought a huge, beautiful photo book from another Japanese publisher. And a sugimoto signed book. Lovely purchases.
In the main section, highlights for me:
Michael Hoppen - a new Sohei nishino of Berlin (disclaimer: I am a long term supporter and buyer of his work). The new Gomez works are incredible The booth next door for 1950s abstract Japanese prints Purdeys for some great abstract print Michael Wolf dotted around The venue (grand palais). A stunning place to see excellent photography
If you are going, enjoy. Happy to hear anyone else's views
