Jorge Mara – La Ruche and Rolf Art are pleased to announce their participation in Paris Photo 2026, the leading international fair dedicated to photography and image, which will take place from November 12 to 15, 2026 at the Grand Palais, Paris, France.
In the Main Sector – Stand A36, Jorge Mara-La Ruche and Rolf Art present at Paris Photo, as part of the bicentennial celebration of photography, a project that traces a visual genealogy of 20th-century Argentine photography, crystallizing the transformations of Buenos Aires’ urban landscape and the traces of the country’s political and social history. The exhibition is complemented by historical prints, original editions, and photobooks that contributed to the circulation of these images in Argentina and around the world.
The project brings together Horacio Coppola [1906-2012], Grete Stern [1904-1999], Sameer Makarius [1924-2009], Ricardo Sanso [1933-2005], Sara Facio [1932-2024] and Alicia D’Amico [1933-2001] —fundamental figures of modern photography from the 30s-60s in the country— along with later generations such as Eduardo Gil [1948], Facundo De Zuviria [1954], Marcelo Brodsky [1954], Adriana Lestido [1955] and Santiago Porter [1971], who inherited, expanded and critically transformed that legacy.
From images of a city undergoing rapid modernization, heir to the ideals of the Belle Époque, to those of a territory marked by the scars of the last dictatorship, the exhibition juxtaposes photographs that reveal the continuities and ruptures in Argentina’s urban and social history, in a year that also marks the 50th anniversary of the 1976 coup. The exhibition extends beyond photographic works to include a journey through the history of printmaking and the photobook in Argentina, featuring historical prints, original editions, and some of the first photobooks produced in the country. These materials allow visitors to trace the various ways in which images were edited, sequenced, and distributed, while also documenting the practices and trajectories of artists and contributing to the reconstruction of the genealogies that have shaped Argentine photography.
