PARIS, OPEN ALL NIGHT

Paris at night transforms, defying insomnia through unceasing activity, joyfully preparing for a moment of celebration. Grand perspectives become alleyways and alleyways become imaginary boulevards; the stairways of Montmartre climb toward infinity; the black ribbon of the Seine evokes an unfathomable mirror…
This exhibition showcases 70 numbered, limited-edition contemporary prints spanning the period from 1900 to 1970.
