Thank you
Dear friends,
Today marks the last day of our ‘Picasso & Friends’ exhibition, and I would like to share a few personal remarks. This exhibition has been a great success, and we are very proud that even in these challenging times for the art market we have achieved such strong results.
Our collaboration with Beck & Eggeling has once again been wonderful, and we are delighted to announce that, in addition to the works by Picasso, we have also placed contemporary works by Genaro Strobel, Johanna Reich, and this remarkable piece by Radenko Milak into a wonderful private collection in Paris.
I first encountered Radenko Milak’s works back in 2014 at the booth of a wonderful Sarajevo gallery at Art Paris, and from that moment on, we began working together. In 2015, we held his first exhibition at my gallery in Cologne, and since then we’ve presented seven solo exhibitions together and over twenty exhibitions in total in Cologne and Paris.
I am extremely proud that we have sold more than 250 of his works, including significant pieces like those he created for the Venice Biennale that were acquired by the Folkwang Museum in Essen, as well as his thirty-piece ‘Surveillance’ series now in the Albertina Museum in Vienna. I am also very happy that he is now making a big career in the United States, with many new supporters collecting and acquiring his works.
On this final day of the exhibition, I am delighted to announce that our wonderfully fruitful and very friendly collaboration with Beck & Eggeling will continue. After the two exhibitions we’ve already held in Paris with Picasso and contemporary artists in 2024 and 2025, we will host the next edition in October and November 2026 here in Paris.
Yours, Priska.
LE FIGARO samedi 15 – dimanche 16 novembre 2025
LE FIGARO has featured Johanna Reich and Rinko Kawauchi during Paris Photo !
« J’ai été enchantée de retrouver à Paris Photo la photographe japonaise Rinko Kawauchi, 53 ans, et ma compatriote Johanna Reich, 48 ans, deux artistes que je représente», nous confie la galeriste de Cologne et Paris Priska Pasquer. « Johanna Reich est présentée ici par la galerie d’Anita Beckers, une personnalité décédée récemment à 78 ans et qui a reçu de nombreux hommages en Allemagne. L’artiste y présente Resurface, projet pour lequel elle a déjà créé plus de 500 entrées Wikipédia concernant des artistes femmes jadis connues mais tombées dans l’oubli. À partir de ces entrées, elle a réalisé des Polaroid des photographies et en a fait un film vidéo de 80 minutes. » — Le Figaro.
This recognition also highlights Reich’s ongoing project Resurface, dedicated to reviving the memory of women artists forgotten in art history through more than 500 new Wikipedia entries, Polaroids, and an 80-minute film.
“I was delighted to see again at Paris Photo the Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi, 53, and my compatriot Johanna Reich, 48 — two artists I represent,” confides the Cologne- and Paris-based gallerist Priska Pasquer.
“Johanna Reich is presented here by galerie Anita Beckers, a figure who recently passed away at the age of 78 and who received numerous tributes in Germany. The artist is showing Resurface, a project for which she has already created more than 500 Wikipedia entries dedicated to women artists who were once known but have fallen into obscurity. Based on these entries, she produced Polaroids of the photographs and turned them into an 80-minute video work.” — Le Figaro
We are proud to represent Rinko Kawauchi and Johanna Reich, and to support their important contributions to contemporary photography and visual culture.Article by Valérie Duponchelle and Béatrice de Rochebouët.
