The best photographers were represented....the wonderful Bill Henson from Australia, Helmut Newton, Sarah Moon, Peter Beard, Diane Arbus, Irving Penn, Norman Parkinson, Dennis Hopper, Willy Ronis, Bill Brandt etc etc
The exhibition was crowded with lots of gorgeous young, and not-so-young Parisians enchanted by the exhibition....very heavy price tags for much of the work....(think 15 000 euros to 250 000 euros)....but the quality was extraordinary and we noticed there were lots and lots of red stickers on many of those fabulous photographs.
So pleased we saw this exhibition.....only in Paris!!!
Here's a little squizz....I'm sure you'll recongnize many of these famous images.

Off to Lyon for the weekend....I've heard great reports about this city....in particular, its fabulous food!
I remember years ago watching Paul Bocuse, that master French chef from Lyon, on SBS television, cooking up some French classics...like stuffed veal pot roast...and provincial lamb. Hopefully, Pierre and I may just be lucky enough to actually try some of that heavenly cuisine this weekend.
A bientot.
