Last week I attended what appeared to be the largest Photography specific art fair in Europe. So much to see and take in. Galleries from all over the world, Paris (obviously), London, New York, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Japan, all showing the work of local well know and lesser known artists, as well as some fantastic old pictures, including some fine examples of HCB's work, such a pleasure to see them for real.
So what was I there for? not exhibiting this year (although it is most likely to make it onto the BadJupiter.com potential places to exhibit calendar for 2011), but this year was mainly for checking out formats, productions, sizes, framing styles, pricing and to learn more about editions. The world of photographic fine art is a difficult one to traverse with many differing views on the number of works to have in an edition, 3? 8? 25? or 100!
My one real disappointment was that having only arrived in Paris late on Thursday, and because the show was so large, I really didn't have much chance to take any pictures, still it gives me another excuse to go back!
