“However, the fair remains dominated by European exhibitors, with an impressive French presence of nearly 60 stands.
Among them, and still within the "Showcase" section, Galerie Boquet turns its spotlight on Dora Maar, the 20th-century French photographer and painter primarily known for her relationship with Pablo Picasso, whose muse she was. "We are very familiar with Picasso's portraits of Dora Maar, painted and drawn ad nauseam, often as the 'Weeping Woman' or as a figure of suffering in Guernica," 32-year-old gallerist Jules Boquet explained to the AFP. "We thought it was very interesting to flip the mirror," he continued, gesturing toward a Cubist portrait of Picasso painted by Dora Maar.”
