About the Item

The Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Oval Reading Room, Paris, 2014 by Franck Bohbot is a 30" x 40" C-Type Matte Print in a Limited Edition of 5. In this photograph of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France's Oval Reading Room, the viewer appreciates the abundance of light that streams in through the glass-worked ceiling and the isolated points of illumination that scatter the library stacks. In 2022, after a 12-year renovation and refurbishment, the Oval Reading Room opened to a different crowd. Now it is open to the public, and interested readers do not need to be members of the library in order to browse the shelves in this Oval room. Home to 20,000 volumes and 9,000 comic books, the Oval Reading room has become a new fascination and destination spot in the heart of Paris, in the second arrondissement. Bohbot's portrait of the Oval Reading room is prior to its renovation, making this image a snapshot in time that cannot be revisited. Also available as a 45" x 60" C-Type Matte Print.

An active architecture photographer since 1985, is a master of perspectives and precise spatial compositions, and he thus considers classical sculpture, in all of its possible facets, a special challenge. "Görner’s photographs sometimes open the doors to another world and take the viewer with them on a journey through time. Here the palace is no longer a museum but both royal residence and a site steeped in history. The viewer does not have to share the halls with the masses of visitors; instead the images offer him exclusive impressions of the Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors) and the Galerie des Batailles (Hall of Battles) as even the king of France was probably never granted. The halls are empty of people, yet they seem to be able to unfurl their individual characters of their own accord.
