François Halard, the French photographer whose work has been a staple in the pages of Vogue and Vanity Fair, built his renown shooting stylish, often decorous interiors. New York gallery Demisch Danant, on the other hand, is known for dealing in mostly midcentury French design objects. But the exhibition Francois Halard: Architecture finds both venturing into new territory.
The gallery has chosen to show 17 large prints of Halard’s work, minimally framed with no glass to gloss over richly saturated matte surfaces, as well as a selection of the photographer’s off-the-cuff-looking Polaroids taken while working on commissions. “During his travels and with his access to places, he’s done a lot of his own personal work,” explained dealer Suzanne Demisch, who collaborated with Halard to select the images on view . The result is more personal, if no less atmospheric than the work that made the photographer famous.
