Jean-Christophe Bailly

In the early fifties, when Swiss photographer Robert Frank, thanks to a Guggenhei… Esther WoerdehoffFRGalerie Esther Woerdehoff +33(0)9-51 51 24 50 galerie@ewgalerie.com Wed-Sat 12-19 eye on africa5 May – 3 Jul 2010Esther WoerdehoffFRGalerie Esther Woerdehoff +33(0)9-51 51 24 50 galerie@ewgalerie.com Wed-Sat 12-19 Our Town25 Sep – 29 Nov 2008Esther WoerdehoffFRGalerie Esther Woerdehoff +33(0)9-51 51 24 50 galerie@ewgalerie.com Wed-Sat 12-19 Bestiarium 30 Jan – 10 Mar 2007La Galerie Esther Woerdehoff propose, du 30 janvier au 10 mars 2007, l'exposition collective Bestiarium.
