Description from the seller
Paul Facchetti (1912-2010)
Italian-French photographer and gallery owner, in 1935 he opened a photographic studio in Paris, cleverly located in the Latin Quarter on rue Saint-Jacques, which earned him a broad clientele, especially because he had the idea of displaying photographs in the shop window. He specialized in portraits.
After World War II, he moved to a larger, better-equipped studio, also in a more bourgeois neighborhood, at 17 rue de Lille. There he continued portrait work, but also did fashion and advertising photography that appeared in Jardin des mondes and Vogue.
In 1951, he transformed his studio into a gallery. Two of his first exhibitions catapulted him immediately into the annals of art history. Also in 1951, he hosted Michel Tapié, who presented at his gallery the exhibition titled "Signifiers of the Informal," with a brilliant selection of artists such as Fautrier, Dubuffet, Mathieu Michaux, Riopelle and Serpan.
On March 7, 1952, he hosted Jackson Pollock, a New York painter who was still relatively unknown in Europe. This was Pollock’s first appearance in Paris, a date that was etched in history.
Many more exhibitions followed at the studio, but Paul Facchetti returned to his work as a photographer in the late 1950s. Salvador Dalí, Rita Hayworth, Brigitte Bardot and Utrillo, as well as André Breton, Henri Michaux, Jean Dubuffet, Truman Capote and many other celebrities of the era posed for him.
