Ihei Kimura - Ihei Kimura's Paris - 2006

Thirty years after his death, Ihei Kimura's color photographs "Paris" (1954), which had remained completely unseen by the public, are finally being re-evaluated internationally following their exhibition at the Arles International Photography Festival. This luxurious photo collection, long awaited by fans, brings together 170 of these "phantom color" photographs. Reproduced with the latest color printing technology, the Paris of 50 years ago conveys the vivid colors and fashion as if it were yesterday. Commentary by Martin Parr, Eiko Imabashi, and others.
