Horvat's studio in Boulogne-Billancourt
We will have the unique opportunity to visit Horvat's studio in Boulogne-Billancourt, where he built his ideal workshop - a black cube with windows facing north.
It completes his archives as well as his personal collection of photography, which he collected over 30 years. After the photographer's passing in October 2020, the archive is being handled by his daughter Fiammetta Horvat, who will meet us at the studio.
We will be guided there by Sidonie Gaychet, photography expert, curator, gallerist and founder of her own gallery. She will talk about Horvath's work, his contribution to world photography, and together with Fiammetta Horvat will introduce us to the great master's archives.
