L’Âge atomique – Les artistes à l’épreuve de l’histoire | The Atomic Age Artists put to the test of history
The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is inviting visitors to take a new look at the history of modernity in the 20th century via the imaginary world of the
atom. The exhibition is an opportunity to explore the artistic representations sparked by the scientific discovery of the atom and its applications, in particular the nuclear bomb, whose devastating consequences changed the fate of humanity. Bringing together some 250 works – paintings, drawings, photographs, videos and installations – as well as documentation that has often been previously unpublished, the exhibition shows, for the first time in a French museum, the widely differing different stances adopted by artists in the face of scientific advances and the controversies they have given rise to.
Dealing with a subject now more topical than ever, the exhibition is in keeping with the museum’s desire to reflect contemporary cultural and social concerns in its programming.
DANIEL BLAU has contributed 27 photos from our collection to enrich the exhibition

Paris Photo 2024
The Brilliance of the Actual View
It is easy to overlook, like forgetting the fact of our breathing: nothing is more often photographed than air.
Take that simple observation, though, and expand it, explode it, play with it – and whole new worlds of possibility reveal themselves. For Paris Photo 2024, DANIEL BLAU aims to do exactly that. Air is our theme, its absence, its alteration.
We look forward to seeing you in Paris.

FISH HOOKS OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS VOL II
The Pacific is the single largest contiguous ‘place’ on earth, sprawling across a third of its surface.Without the fish hook, the settlement of the Pacific Islands over the last 2,000 years would have been impossible.
For us, these works of art are significant, eloquent witnesses to a rich and bygone universe of cultures. The task of preserving them, of tracing and describing their histories and origins, and of passing those stories on to new generations around the world,is as wonderful a calling as any lover of art could hope to be presented with.
This limited-edition book is the ultimate resource on the fish hooks of the Pacific Islands. More than 450 fish hooks and dozens of related objects are presented here in their true size (1:1) for the very first time, spread across more than 450 pages and more than 80 full-page or fold‑out plates, and accompanied by over 220 color and 75 monochrome accessory illustrations, 45 photos of people and islands, 50 maps, and comprehensive expert commentary.
Foreword and texts by Daniel Blau and Klaus Maaz.
Essays by Anthony JP Meyer and Sydney Picasso.
30×25 cm, hardcover with embossing and dust cover.
