PARIS PHOTO NEW YORK 2020
This week should have been the inaugural edition of Paris Photo New York, now postponed due to the Covid crisis.
For this important fair dedicated to photography Atlas has curated a group exhibition on a subject that most embodies the connection between art and nature – flowers and foliage.
Whether supreme symbols of life or of the passing of time, flowers and nature studies have inspired artists and particularly photographers, to create some of their most iconic works.
Our selection, available here to explore, shows the work of photography masters from different generations, presenting a survey on one of the most popular subjects of art history.
We hope this presentation brings some hope and spring colour into our lives at this testing time.
