About the Item
This exceptional and singular silver gelatin black-and-white photograph, taken by Press Agency in Paris in 1925, captures a defining moment from the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, held in October of that year. The image showcases a striking Art Deco sculpture situated just outside The Hôtel du Collectionneur—an elegant and visionary pavilion created for the famed French furniture designer Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann.
Conceived by architect Pierre Patout, the pavilion embodied the height of French decorative refinement and modernist sophistication. With its sweeping curves, luxurious materials, and sculptural integration, it stood as a centerpiece of the exhibition and a beacon of Art Deco style. The sculpture in the foreground complements the structure's architectural brilliance, symbolizing the harmonious fusion of fine art and design that defined the 1925 exposition.
The photograph, rendered in rich silver gelatin tones, offers stunning clarity and nuance—each detail, from the texture of the stone to the shadows dancing across the sculpture's form, evokes the glamor and ambition of an era that sought to redefine modern luxury. This artifact is more than a visual document: it's a timeless portal into the golden age of French decorative arts and the bold aesthetic revolution of the early twentieth century.
