His work is in the collections of numerous important public institutions, including: the Bibliothèque Nationale and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, both in Paris; the Castello di Rivoli in Turin; the Musée Réattu in Arles; Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven; and the Centro Santa Monica in Barcelona.
