Lucien Clergue, Marsh, Camargue, 1965

Forty-five vintage prints bring Lucien Clergue’s photographs of the Mediterranean, the human figure and the Camargue marshes to Throckmorton Fine Art.

Lucien Clergue: A Life Through the Lens is on view through January 16, 2027. According to the gallery, the selection ranges from the French photographer’s Nus de la mer, or Nudes in the Sea, to bullfighting subjects, landscapes and surrealist compositions.

The exhibition centers on gelatin silver prints made close to the time Clergue exposed the negatives. Among them is Marsh, Camargue, from 1965.

Born in Arles in 1934, Clergue worked extensively in southern France and co-founded the Rencontres d’Arles photography festival in 1970. His photographs are held by institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, the gallery notes.

Throckmorton Fine Art is at 145 E. 57th St., third floor. Details are available from the gallery.
