Photographs varied in price as much as in style and nationality at Paris Photo 2024. Starting from about 1500 euros, prices could get as high as millions for the most renowned art photographers. However, the fair made efforts to highlight new photographers; the “Space Curiosa” presented exclusively emerging artists, further enriching the Paris Photo experience.
