CALIFORNIA UNEDITED! will present an exceptional collection of photographs taken in California at the end of the 19th century by Richard J. Arnold. These previously unseen photographs printed from recently restored glass plate negatives portray the Central Coast’s local communities by a single photographer. Co-curated by Julien Frydman and Anthony Lepore.

INTRODUCING! Young California Photographer Award, in partnership with J.P. Morgan, Paris Photo Los Angeles will honor the work of one student selected from an art school in California. The exhibition will provide the opportunity to discover the work of young photographers and to identify the talents of tomorrow. Call for entries and jury members will be announced by the end of February.

The Conversations will offer visitors a wide array of intellectual perspectives on the use of images from some of the leading international artists and curators working today. With two conversations each day over the three days of Paris Photo Los Angeles, the series will bring together a pair of artists for an open dialogue of their artistic practices as well as more philosophical discussion about the status of the image in contemporary society. Through an additional emphasis on the moving image, the conversations will open up the discussion to the larger world of image making that runs parallel to traditional photographic practice. Each conversation will be preceded with an introduction by a leading curator or critic from the fields of photography, contemporary art, and cinema.

Following the acclaimed exhibition UNEDITED! The LAPD Photo Archives in 2014, a new edition of UNEDITED! will offer visitors an opportunity to discover photography archives never shown to a wide public. CALIFORNIA UNEDITED! will present, for the first time in Los Angeles, the R.J. Arnold Archives, an exceptional collection of photographs taken in California at the end of the 19th century by Richard J. Arnold. These previously unseen photographs printed from recently restored glass plate negatives portray the Central Coast’s local communities by a single photographer. The 2015 edition of UNEDITED! is co-curated by Julien Frydman and Anthony Lepore.

Paris Photo Los Angeles will partner with renowned talent agency United Talent Agency (UTA), and its CEO collector Jeremy Zimmer, for the occasion of the Fair opening night, Thursday, April 30. UTA represents talent such as Johnny Depp, Michael Douglas, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tilda Swinton and Wes Anderson, making Paris Photo Los Angeles the singular event for all photography aficionados in Hollywood.
