Martine Franck: A Retrospective

MonoVisions Black & White Photo Contest 2025

Magnum Photos is pleased to announce that The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson will open its new Le Marais space with a celebratory Martine Franck retrospective.

At the initiative of Fondation HCB, Martine Franck’s photographic work is finally being given a comprehensive review at the exhibition curated by Agnès Sire, co-founder and artistic director of the Foundation.

The large-scale exhibition will pay homage to the work of Franck, journeying through her most seminal photographic series: from activist gatherings to meditative landscapes, political engagement to friendly portraits. In each, her deeply human vision and resounding empathy is testament to her singularity, making for compelling viewing.
