Fotografiska’s Post

Why Invest in Art, specifically photography. Investing in photography provides buyers with several advantages: 1. Potential for Appreciation: Like other art forms, photography can increase in value over time, particularly if the photographer gains recognition or if the image becomes historically significant. 2. Diversification of Portfolio: Photography investments can diversify a portfolio, spreading risk across different asset classes and potentially providing a hedge against market fluctuations. 3. Tangible Asset: Photographic prints offer tangible assets that buyers can physically enjoy and display, adding aesthetic value to their surroundings. 4. Limited Editions and Rarity: Many photographs are produced in limited editions, increasing their rarity and exclusivity. Buyers of limited edition prints may see their investment appreciate as demand exceeds supply. 5. Emotional Connection: Photography has a unique ability to evoke emotions and memories. Buyers may invest in photographs that hold personal significance or resonate with them emotionally, enhancing their enjoyment of the artwork. 6. Cultural and Historical Value: Photography documents moments in history and reflects cultural trends. Buyers may invest in photographs that document significant events or movements, contributing to their preservation and historical legacy. 7. Potential for Rental Income: In addition to potential appreciation, buyers can generate rental income by leasing their photographic prints for exhibitions, events, or commercial purposes. 8. Supporting Artists: Investing in photography directly supports artists and their creative endeavors, helping to sustain the arts community. 9. Networking Opportunities: Buyers become part of a community of collectors, artists, and enthusiasts, providing opportunities for networking, attending events, and engaging in discussions about photography. 10. Personal Enjoyment and Prestige: Owning a collection of photographic art brings personal satisfaction and prestige, allowing buyers to curate a collection that reflects their taste, interests, and appreciation for visual storytelling. Investing in photography is not merely about financial potential; it's about embracing a journey where every acquisition becomes a testament to our shared cultural tapestry. Each photograph holds within it a piece of our collective history, a fragment of human emotion frozen in time. By investing in photography not only do you allow for the preservation of priceless moments, but you help maintain a field of art which remains crucial as a form of storytelling, artistic exploration and discourse.

contemporary Korean photography is great.

Paul Hart’s current exhibition @harleyfoundation includes this commanding image of a lead pine tree growing a the forest edge entitled Guardian.  Gerry Badger wrote in Paul’s publication Truncated from which this exhibition and this photograph is carefully selected, that; “the sense of being at rest within it [the forest], of stopping still at a particular place and paying close attention to what is there is strong. Photography is the natural medium for meditation, freezing objects in space and time for our scrutiny. It does this especially felicitously in the case of people, that is, in the portrait, but the same strategy utilised to make a portrait – we might call it benign confrontation – also works well with natural and man-made objects. Paul Hart’s images of single trees function like portraits, highlighting character and nuanced individualities – with one important difference. Trees do not react like people when a camera is pointed at them. Tree ‘portraits’ depend solely upon the sensibility of the photographer. And yet, there is a distinct anthropomorphic aspect to trees. Of all natural objects, trees seem closest to man. It is clearly something to do with them being upright, perhaps the way their branches seem like arms. This is what draws Paul Hart (and us) to them, each tree has an individual character. Here, perhaps because they are pines, they are not so individualistic as some other species of trees. They are like sentries, a little stiff in bearing, guarding the landscape.” This photograph of Guardian as an artist made selenium toned silver gelatin print is available framed or unframed as a single work or as part of the series via the gallery, [email protected] or via the website. The exhibition continues until the 14th July. #thetreeartgallery #treeart #trees #treephotography #paulhart #blackandwhitephotography #contemporaryart #contemporaryphotography #pinetree #derbyshire #forests

Three Men Running to the de Young Museum captured through window covering fabric. The in-camera photograph is from the Unaltered State of Reality Collection. The intent of this Collection was to use a museum space to create a new photographic body-of-work and not photograph the artwork exhibited. I wanted to see the museum as a public space documenting the visitors, architecture, and building materials through prolonged observation. In many cases, the photographs incorporate a variety of materials, reflections, and movement into the images. Another goal of the 3 year project was to create images that questioned the viewer’s assessment of the image, that is, was the image a photograph, painting, or watercolor, or something else? This idea is fundamental on how people perceive what is in front of them based on individual interpretation from upbringing, education, and biases, thereby exploring the viewer's assumptions. #photographyisart #photographyart #photography #fineartphotography #photographer #artist #artcollectors #artcurators #art #museums #MuseumCurators #artconsultants #corporatecollectors #curators #photoftheday #ContemporaryArt #collection #originalprint #interiordesign #fineart #prints #fineartphotography #artwork
