paris photo women photographers

The 28th edition of Paris Photo, which closed November 16, saw a surge in representation of women photographers, rising to 39 percent of artists on view from 20 percent in 2018. This shift is driven by the fair's Elles program, launched with France's ministry of culture, and a broader market appetite for rediscovered women artists. Notable sales included works by Ming Smith, whose vintage prints sold for up to €60,000 at M77 gallery, and offerings from Les Filles du Calvaire featuring Helena Almeida and Katalin Ladik. Richard Saltoun gallery returned after six years with a booth focused on women photographers.

Rosalind Fox Solomon and Larry Fink reunited with mentor Lisette Model at Paris Photo

At this year's Paris Photo, the MUUS Collection presented "Looking Out, Looking In: Larry Fink and Rosalind Fox Solomon with Lisette Model," an exhibition that placed the work of photographers Larry Fink (1941-2023) and Rosalind Fox Solomon (1930-2025) in dialogue with that of their teacher, Lisette Model (1901-83). The MUUS Collection, founded by Michael W. Sonnenfeldt, owns the archives of Fink and Solomon, acquired in 2024 and 2021 respectively, and partnered with the French gallery baudoin lebon to include Model's prints. The presentation was organized by Anne E. Havinga, curator of photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and highlighted Model's pedagogical legacy as a teacher at the New School for Social Research who emphasized personal vision and creative independence.
