Equinox Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of works by Fred Herzog for its participation in the 28th edition of Paris Photo, the world’s leading fair dedicated to photography and image-based art, taking place from November 13 to 16, 2025, at the Grand Palais in Paris.
Equinox Gallery’s presentation situates Herzog’s work within an international dialogue on photographic history and the contemporary exploration of street photography, a fitting contribution to Paris Photo’s vibrant convergence of artists, collectors, and curators from around the globe.
This year marks a defining moment:
First showing of newly discovered, previously unseen images from Herzog’s archive. These vibrant works expand the narrative of his legacy and offer fresh perspectives on his decades documenting street life in colour.

Fred Herzog was born in Germany in 1930, and immigrated to Vancouver, BC in 1953. Throughout his career he worked almost exclusively with Kodachrome slide film, and only in the past decade did technology allow him to make archival pigment prints that match the exceptional colour and intensity of the Kodachrome slide. Herzog’s use of colour was unusual in the 1950s and 60s, a time when art photography was almost exclusively associated with black and white imagery. In this respect, his photographs can be seen as a pre-figuration of the “New Colour” photographers of the 1970s.
Equinox Gallery is the exclusive representative of the Estate of Fred Herzog.
