L’image à venir, mémoires d’un collectionneur, by Pierre Apraxine with Jean Poderos
Pierre Apraxine was a visionary, a trailblazer who was among the first col- lectors to dedicate his life to unearthing long-forgotten masterpieces of nineteenth-century photography.
Pierre Apraxine spent 25 years building one of the world’s most exceptional collections, a trove of nearly 9000 images that transformed the photogra- phy department of the Metropolitan Museum of New York upon its acquisi- tion in 2005.
An absolute eye, Pierre Apraxine lived the enchanted existence of a fictional character.
It is this life and vision that he shares in his memoir, a testimonial that is as brilliant, sharp, and stirring as the man himself.
