The Art of Collecting Photography

The book guides you through the history and evolution of photography, contextualising its studies of many genres, techniques and movements with a full analysis of numerous inspiring photographs. This is accompanied by practical advice such as liaising with dealers and galleries, storing and displaying a collection.

This title conveys a full understanding of the elements and skills needed to establish a collection. Whether intended for the amateur or professional collector, this book forms a comprehensive, exhaustive and easy-to-follow resource.
