BERNARD DESCAMPS - Lot 229

BERNARD DESCAMPS "Self-portrait Éditions Filigranes, Trézélan, 2005 (probable first edition). Monographic work illustrated with black and white photographs. Signed "Pour Franck". Good condition. Note: A major photographer on the French scene and founding member of the FreeLens collective, Bernard Descamps has been developing a body of work since the 1960s, marked by a focus on intimacy, landscape and portraiture. Autoportrait is part of this introspective approach, and a representative publication of the editorial work of Éditions Filigranes, a recognized player in contemporary photographic books. The market for French photobooks from the 2000s remains selective: value depends mainly on condition, the presence of a dedication or a limited edition.
