The gallery and art store noir blanche exists since summer 2017 and has set your focus on classical and modern contemporary photography.

At the beginning of 2023, the gallery moved to new premises in the urban district of Düsseldorf Flingern and has expanded.

Well-known national and international photographers as well as emerging artists are represented by the gallery.

Many of our visitors often think that we only have black and white photography in our programme because of our gallery name noir blanche.

However, the name is a homage to the famous photograph Noire et blanche by Man Ray, as the gallery stands for classic photography.

Noire et Blanche (French: black and white) is a black and white photograph taken in 1926 by the American photographer Man Ray. It is one of his most famous photographs at the time when he was a representative of surrealism.

The image was first published on 1 May 1926 in the Parisian magazine Vogue under the title Visage de Nacre et Masque d'Ébène.  It appeared again under the current title in 1928 in the French magazines Variétés and Art et Décoration. 

The photo shows the famous French model Kiki de Montparnasse posing expressionlessly, her eyes closed and her head resting on a table, holding a black African mask vertically on the surface with her left hand.
