Description from the seller
Photography by Marc Simon
Portrait of the sculptor César at home
Color print, 30 x 40 format
Marc Simon is an important figure in French press photography, better known as a photo editor and head of VSD's photo department than as a photographer in his own right.
Career
From 2000 to 2018, Marc Simon headed the photo department at VSD magazine, where he oversaw the selection, editing, and publication of numerous photographic reports. In this role, he helped shape the magazine's visual identity, championing demanding photojournalism centered on the power of visual storytelling.
After leaving VSD, he continued working in the world of photography as:
chair of the jury for the Mark Grosset–SAIF Prize at the Promenades Photographiques;
secretary-general of the International Center for Research into Political Imagery (CIRIP);
a member of the board of the Promenades Photographiques and a photography instructor.
His work as a photographer
Marc Simon also produced reports for VSD, including portraits of notable figures and current-affairs features. Some of his photographs are now available on the collectors' market. Among them is a gelatin silver print made in 1984 depicting Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin aboard the frigate Guépratte during a report for VSD.
Significance
Although Marc Simon is less well known to the general public than some press photographers, he played a major role in promoting documentary photography in France. His influence stems as much from his work as a photographer as from his role as an editor: he supported several generations of photojournalists and helped make VSD one of France's leading illustrated magazines from the 1980s to the 2010s.
Seller's Story
THE TAYLOR GALLERY WORKSHOP
The Atelier / Galerie Taylor, located at 7, on the eponymous street in the 10th arrondissement in Paris, is a friendly place dedicated to photography. It was created thanks to image enthusiasts, José Nicolas, photographer and manager of the place with the support of Jean Vinégla.
Located a stone's throw from Place de la République, between rue du Château-d'eau and rue René-Boulanger, the place is dynamic, atypical and warm, resolutely turned towards sharing and mutual discovery of images at the 'international.
The Atelier / Galerie Taylor is familiarly inclined to exhibit film photography while remaining open to the wide range of contemporary imaging techniques.
It presents well-known and emerging photographers, with the aim of always surprising and arousing the curiosity of collectors and visitors.
Since its opening in September 2019, the Atelier / Galerie Taylor has carved out a good reputation, going from being a confidential place to a showroom recognized by professionals and collectors, both for the choice of its programming and for the quality of the prints on display.
