Paolo Roversi - Paolo Roversi - Palais Galliera - 2024

Rarity, out of print.. New Book! A magnificent publication with Swiss binding with exposed spine, published by Editions Paris Musées, this book accompanies the exhibition on Paolo Roversi at the Palais Galliera. The beautifully printed and edited volume unveils 50 years of photographs and reveals how the artist seized on fashion and nude and portrait photography to create a unique work. This is the first monograph dedicated to the photographer in Paris. Of Italian origin, Paolo Roversi moved to Paris in 1973. Since then he has worked for prestigious magazines (Vogue, Egoïste, Luncheon, etc.). His career is marked by collaboration with the greatest stylists, in particular Yohji Yamamoto, Romeo Gigli, Rei Kawakubo for Comme des Garçons. His signature is instantly recognisable: soft, sepia tones of black and white in daylight, density and depth of colors in artificial light. Over the years Paolo Roversi researches and invents his own photographic language, welcoming coincidences and accidents as opportunities to renew himself. The biggest models passed in front of his lens: Kate Moss, Natalia Vodianova, Luda Egorova, Kirsyen Owen, Stella Tennant, Gemma Ward, Naomi Campbell. They always pose with simplicity; their presence is intense. Paolo Roversi is at the same time at the center of the system and at the same time distant, far from ephemeral trends. In search of beauty, he builds a singular work on which time has no influence. This book, which brings together 140 works including previously unpublished images and Polaroid prints, reveals the professional and artistic path of an exceptional photographer!
