Paris Photo takes the medium out of the frame
Experimental works, including images reproduced on shoes, pictures covered in embroidery and mangled and burned prints, appeal to contemporary collectors The fair Paris Photo at the Grand Palais in Paris, which opened its doors to the public yesterday and runs until 16 November, presents a remarkable quality of photographic works, from Black Canyon by Edward Steichen, 1907, offered for $850,000 by Hans P. Kraus, New York, to a 1979 portrait of Francis Bacon by Richard Avedon
