LE BAL - "Yasuhiro Ishimoto" exhibition

LE BAL offers students 20% off the purchase of a ticket for the exhibition Yasuhiro Ishimoto, from October 14 to November 17, 2024. A promotional code will be sent via the newsletter Culture et loisirs.

From June 19 to November 17, 2024, LE BAL presents a remarkable figure in the history of Japanese photography, yet little known in France: Yasuhiro Ishimoto (1921-2012). For the first time in Europe, the exhibition, organized in close collaboration with the Ishimoto Yasuhiro Photo Center at the Museum of Art, Kochi, Japan, brings together 169 rare prints, most of them vintage and made by Ishimoto himself. The exhibition focuses on the first decades of his work, between Chicago and Japan. A key figure of the 1950s and 1960s, he would be regarded as "visually bilingual" for his ability to combine the formal approach of the New Bauhaus with the quintessence of Japanese aesthetics.
