Our story Delpire Éditeur, founded in 1951, was led by Robert Delpire for over sixty years. The man, recognized as a genius of the image, has made a considerable contribution to the history of photography. After having pioneered the publication of the works of Robert Frank, William Klein and Henri Cartier-Bresson, the publishing house went on to publish the work of artists such as Josef Koudelka and Sarah Moon. Today, delpire & co continues this unique publishing adventure.
13, rue de l'Abbaye "As luck would have it, one day, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, I walked past a showroom window and saw a small sign "Lease Available". I entered. And I gave in. This place was ideal for what I wanted to do. It was the first Parisian gallery dedicated to photography. I showed many other things there, folk art objects, drawings, sculptures, but above all photos. Cartier-Bresson and Bourdin. Lartigue and Koudelka, etc, etc. And also illustrators whose talent I have always found underestimated. André François, Savignac, Americans who often had their first exhibition in Europe."
