agenda

For this 2nd edition of Modern Art Fair, baudoin lebon will present three stands:

•  a collection of modern works rooted in the history of art, from figurative to informal abstraction. We will go back into the gallery's history with Migofs by Bernard Schultze, drawings by Dado and prints by Dubuffet. These distinctive visual styles are all rooted in a kind of redemption and deliver their truth about the human condition with force and viscerality.
• This ensemble will be paired with Elissa Marchal's an assemblage and artworks from Jalousies series.

• A stand dedicated to the work of the artist Laurent Perbos and his research on birds. Through his approach, he questions the evocative charge of this animal in our collective imagination, a powerful symbol of majesty and freedom.

On Sunday 16 October from 2pm to 6pm, the gallery will participate in {UN DIMANCHE A LA GALERIE} organised by the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d'Art with the exhibition "The Untold Life of The Photograph by Joel-Peter Witkin.

The baudoin lebon gallery is pleased to offer an unexpected insight into the peculiar work of Joel Peter Witkin. By presenting for the first time the artist's contact sheets as well as drawings, accessories, and unique prints enhanced with encaustic paint, the exhibition will take you on a journey to discover his creative process. These contact sheets, which were never intended to be published or exhibited, allow the discovery of the moments preceding and following the artist's emblematic shots as well as the notes of the photographer on the framing, the posture, the sets and light… all elements that constitute the image and allow us to decrypt it. Joel Peter Witkin never leaves a thing to chance.  His work is the result of tremendous work, of attempts, errors, and more or less successful experiments both during the shooting and in the intimacy of the darkroom.

This exhibition pays tribute to the atypical and iconoclast know-how of this extraordinary photographer.
