Seven hundred photographs selected from a collection of eight thousand: for the bicentenary of photography, the Bourse de Commerce opens Remember Me, from Le Gray to Cindy Sherman, with Irving Penn and Raymond Depardon as guests of honor, from October 7, 2026 to January 18, 2027.

Our images from the Remember Me exhibition. We previewed the exhibition the day before it opened to the public. Under the dome, Barbara Kruger covers the Rotunda with black, white, and red words, culminating in the immense "YOU." that immediately captures the eye. In the galleries, the prints interact without chronological order, then Irving Penn displays more than four hundred prints in a constellation, from Picasso and Colette to a Hell's Angel on his motorcycle.

Werner Bischof photographs a Peruvian child playing the flute, then dies in a car accident; the film will be developed after his death. Annie Leibovitz photographs John Lennon naked, curled up against Yoko Ono; a few hours later he is assassinated outside his home. Both images hang in the Bourse de Commerce. Remember me. The phrase comes from a work by Barbara Kruger, who takes over the Rotunda and transforms the windows of the Passage into light boxes. It applies to the seven hundred photographs gathered there, taken from a collection of eight thousand.

The exhibition rejects chronology. It opens with hands shuffling dominoes, an image by Edward Steichen never before exhibited, and proceeds by association: Le Gray's seascapes against Eileen Quinlan's waves, Avedon's Marilyn against the Cindy Sherman who embodies her, August Sander's men against Sherrie Levine's reinterpretation. Irving Penn occupies the second gallery with over four hundred prints; he noted on the back of each one the title, the print quality, and the chemicals used. Raymond Depardon occupies the third with his France in color, its shops and squares: a single image per location, a rule he has imposed on himself since the 1980s, traveling the country in a van with a tripod camera, to slow down his gaze. The Bourse de Commerce brings together about fifty of these, all from the Pinault Collection. It all ends with My Last Photograph by Man Ray, which is a black square painted on cardboard.
