A new exhibition at Howard Greenberg Gallery presents nearly 40 photographs from Brassaï's celebrated Paris by Night series alongside selections from The Secret Paris, a group of images originally withheld from publication due to their provocative subject matter.
Infused with mystery, intimacy, and cinematic atmosphere, Brassaï's photographs transformed Paris after dark into a stage where beauty, danger, and desire coexisted. Considered too risqué for inclusion in the 1933 book, the Secret Paris photographs—depicting the city's underworld of brothels, bars, and illicit encounters—were not published until 1976, decades after their creation. Together, the two series reveal Brassaï's unmatched ability to navigate the city's dual identities: the poetic and the forbidden, the public and the private. His Paris is at once romantic and raw, illuminated by streetlamps, reflected by mirrors, enveloped in fog and human vulnerability.
