For its second U.S. edition after a blockbuster debut last year, Paris Photo Los Angeles embraces the glamour and grit of its host city. The fine art photography fair sets its stage, quite literally, in the studios of Paramount Pictures, where 80 international galleries bring out the medium’s shining stars April 25 through 27. Take Danziger Gallery, which is presenting work by Jim Krantz, the commercial and fine art photographer whose Marlboro ads Richard Prince appropriated in his “Cowboy” series. Stephen Shore’s “Winslow” suite, capturing the retro Americana of the sleepy Arizona town of the same name in photos all shot on September 19, 2013, occupies the entire booth of 303 Gallery. Debuting this year is a new component occupying the New York Street Backlot, a replica of the Big Apple, which will house solo shows from 15 emerging galleries, such as New York’s Kate Werble, bringing John Lehr, and Ambach & Rice, with Martina Sauter.
