Photographer Rehahn to open new gallery

The new gallery is divided into two rooms, with one for displaying photographs taken in Vietnam and the other for showing artworks from other countries and his “Limited Edition” fine art photo collection which is sold at US$2,000 per photo.

Some photographs taken in Cuba by the French photographer will also be exhibited for the first time at the new gallery.

Rehahn told the Daily that the opening of the gallery in HCMC marks the 10-year milestone of his career as a photographer and allows local and foreign visitors to take a close look at valuable artworks by Rehahn.

He had traveled more than 35 countries before he decided to settle down in the UNESCO-recognized World Heritage site of Hoi An in the central coast province of Quang Nam.

Rehahn published his first photo book about Vietnam in 2014, called Mosaic of Contrasts, followed by “Vietnam, Mosaic of Contrasts Volume II” in late 2015. 

Last March, his photograph ‘Hidden Smile’ featuring Madame Xong, a boat rower in the Hoai River in Hoi An, found its new permanent home at the Women’s Museum in Hanoi on the occasion of International Women’s Day (March 8).

He also opened a Precious Heritage Gallery Museum which is the culmination of five years of his continued exploration of Vietnam’s rich and vast cultural heritage in Hoi An City.

Located at 151/7 Dong Khoi Street, District 1, HCMC, the gallery will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. with free admission.
