Polka Galerie represents French and International post-war artists who work in photography both as a medium for documentary work and visual arts. Founded in 2007 by AdĂ©lie de Ipanema and Edouard Genestar, brother and sister, the gallery is dedicated to promote photographic works and offers exhibitions that confront the past with the present, that interrogate the representation of the worldÂŽs major events, and that seek documentary forms in contemporary creation. Installed in the Marais neighborhood of Paris, the gallery, with its 300 square meters, features two exhibition halls and a photographic bookstore with both monographic and thematic themes and rare or recently released signed editions. Polka Galerie is a member of French ComitĂ© Professionnel des Galeries dâArt and Association des Galeries dâArt organizations. Polka also publishes Polka Magazine, founded by Alain Genestar. The magazine, whose editorial staff is run by Dimitri Beck, offers an unobstructed view of the vitality of photography.
