Bourse de Commerce Shows Raymond Depardon's 'La France' Photographs from Pinault Collection
The Facts
The Pinault Collection is showing some fifty photographs by Raymond Depardon in Gallery 3 of the Bourse de Commerce in Paris, as part of the exhibition "Remember Me." The series "La France," created in the 1980s, documents small provincial towns and intermediary spaces across the country using a large-format camera. Depardon, a founder of the Gamma photo agency and a Magnum member, is a major figure in photojournalism. The exhibition runs from September 16, 2026, with reduced admission fees: €9 for ages 18-26 and other reductions, and free entry for Super Cercle members and Membership Pinault Collection Card holders.
The Signal
The presentation of Depardon's "La France" at the Bourse de Commerce underscores the Pinault Collection's commitment to documentary photography and its intersection with contemporary art. For collectors and curators, this exhibition highlights the enduring value of typological series in photography, a genre that continues to influence market trends. Depardon's methodical yet humanistic approach, inspired by Walker Evans, offers a nuanced portrait of France that resonates with current interest in regional and overlooked landscapes. The adjusted pricing strategy, including free entry for members, signals an effort to broaden audience access while maintaining institutional prestige.
