#9 CURATED BY JEROME PROCHIANTZ: a photograph, a book

FROM MARCH 17, 2025 TO JUNE 28, 2025

For the first time, L'INAPERÇU has entrusted its curation to a collector.

"Une photographie, un livre dans la collection de Jérôme Prochiantz" presents a selection of 50 photography books featuring reproductions of prints from his collection.

Jérôme Prochiantz is no ordinary collector. A photography enthusiast, over the years he has collected over 500 prints, which he lovingly hangs on the walls of his apartment.

An apartment where photographic icons such as Robert Mapplethorpe, Arthur Tress and Nan Goldin rub shoulders with lesser-known artists who have had a profound impact on him.

Jérôme Prochiantz also owns over 600 photobooks, in which the photographs he has collected feature. From then on, books became an extension of his passion for photography. These books become precious witnesses to his collector's journey. This singular dialogue between prints and photobooks reveals an unprecedented aspect of this highly personal collection.

About Jérôme Prochiantz

A passionate art collector, Jérôme Prochiantz inaugurated his photography collection in 1998 with the purchase of a print by George Dureau. His acquisitions then continued at a steady pace. His collection, which today numbers over 500 prints, reflects his personal tastes, his discoveries and his attachment to recurring themes such as the body, sensuality and intimacy.

The BnF, to which he donated his collection, presented a selection of 65 prints in early 2025, offering a glimpse of the richness and eclecticism of his collection. The exhibition, entitled Le goût de la photographie: dans la collection Jérôme Prochiantz, brought together major works of contemporary photography.
