Overview
Overview
Geared toward photographers and the curious collector, this class goes behind-the-scenes to have honest and open conversations with prominent photography dealers across the United States. The first class sets the stage and presents the pertinent questions collectors should ask dealers along with the due diligence needed to buy a photograph -- from signature indications, limited vs. open editions, to negative vs print date. Dealers will discuss the gallery’s ‘brand’, how they meet the artists they represent, setting prices, how new talent is discovered to the challenges of running a gallery in today’s world. There is something for everyone: from dealers who focus on classic, modern and specialized themes. Join us as we peek behind the curtain into the fine art photography marketplace.
