At this year’s edition of Paris Photo, in celebration of the 200th anniversary of photography, Thomas Ruff will take over the 36-meter entrance wall at the Grand Palais. The presentation will be on view November 12–15, 2026.⁠ ⁠ Presented as part of the Prismes projects in the Main Sector, the installation in collaboration with five galleries – Sprüth Magers, David Zwirner, Konrad Fischer Galerie, Mai 36 Galerie and Lia Rumma –, will span more than forty years of his work. A major figure of the Düsseldorf School, Ruff has developed a distinctive conceptual approach to photography through color, shifts in scale, the manipulation of source imagery and digital processes. Across his work, he has continually investigated the “grammar of photography” and the evolving possibilities of the medium.⁠
