Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection Exhibits 50 Raymond Depardon Photographs of French Landscape
The Facts
The Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection in Paris is presenting approximately 50 photographs by Raymond Depardon from its own holdings, drawn from the photographer's long-running series "La France." The works are on view in Galerie 3 as part of the group exhibition "Remember Me." The show opens September 16, 2026 and runs through October 5, 2026, with reduced admission prices of €9 for all visitors and €7 for those aged 18–26 and other eligible groups. Depardon, a founder of the Gamma agency and a member of Magnum Photos, began the series in the 1980s, traveling the French countryside in a van with a large-format camera and limiting himself to a single image per location. The exhibition is curated by Matthieu Humery, photography advisor to the Pinault Collection, with Lola Regard as project coordinator.
The Signal
Depardon's "La France" occupies a distinctive place in contemporary photography, blending the typological rigor of a systematic survey with a deeply humanistic eye. His methodical approach—inspired in part by Walker Evans—transforms seemingly mundane scenes of small-town streets, roadside shops, and rural landscapes into quiet, empathetic portraits of place. For collectors and curators, the exhibition underscores the Pinault Collection's sustained commitment to photography as a core medium, while Depardon's status as a Magnum veteran and his decades-long dedication to a single subject lend the series considerable art-historical weight. The reduced admission pricing also signals an effort to broaden audience access during the run.
