VALERY GISCARD D'ESTAING - Lot 271
VALERY GISCARD D'ESTAING And his wife, during the filming of photographer Raymond Depardon’s documentary on the 1974 presidential campaign, *Une partie de campagne*, 2002. Photo by David Burnett, vintage RC print (intended for the press), labels (including the photographer’s name) on the back. 12.6 x 17.7 cm, including white borders. Note: This photograph, taken in 2002 by David Burnett, depicts Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and his wife Anne-Aymone during the filming of *Une partie de campagne*, Raymond Depardon’s documentary about the 1974 presidential campaign. Originally filmed in close proximity to the candidate, this film is one of the most remarkable accounts of 20th-century French political life. Long unpublished before its public release in the early 2000s, it offers an exceptional behind-the-scenes look at the election campaign that led Valéry Giscard d’Estaing to the presidency of the Republic. David Burnett’s photograph thus brings together two generations of witnesses: Raymond Depardon, director of the historic documentary, and Burnett, a leading figure in international photojournalism. Intended for the press upon the film’s release, this print serves as a fascinating document of French political history and offers a perspective—nearly thirty years later—on a pivotal moment in the Fifth Republic.
