Its red bloodwood frame window is showing Serge Gainsbourg smoking one of his notorious Gitane while his partner in crime, Jane Birkin is playing the baby doll looking alike Melody Nelson. 🙂

The book lovers won’t feel left out as the gallery is also selling coffee table and art books about photography, such the iconic Guy Bourdin in Between or the portraits of Steve McQueen shot by John Dominis among others gems.

Home to prestigious photographs such as Patrick Demarchelier, Bruce Weber or Tony Frank, La Galerie de l’Instant is also harboring exhibitions in its premises.
