The most recent annual Salon
Paris Photo, held in early November, a new order prices for photography. Starting prices for the work of artists-debutants have been in the area of € 1000-2000 - against standard € 3000-5000. Terminations photos Mannik Finn Esko (Esko Männikkö) in the traditional for him battered vintage frames on the stand Yancey Richardson was available for only a few thousand. Previously, prices have reached twenty. New Exercise "great and terrible" Englishman Witkin (Joel Peter Witkin) sold for € 6000, that for the photographer of this level and with this name is very cheap. However no serious exhibit late XIX-early XX century in the cabin was not observed. The trend is obvious: the gallery at the time of crisis hoard photo masterpieces of the museum level and will not stand untwisted fashionable young artists - at least at the major art salons. But worthy of the classics of the genre and the works have not yet been glorified young art-radicals can be bought for almost nothing. Almost simultaneously with the auction Paris Photo Phillips de Pury & Company - New York and London Contemporary Art Photographs. At first most of the lots were not sold, and the second price rarely exceeded estimate.
The technology and prices
In collecting photos, there are different strategies. You can spend big money on the purchase of masterpieces, shining in the major museums and the media, such as Man Ray and Diane Arbus. Here, as in any business, the greater the investment, the greater the profits. But the situation on the art market today spoke in favor of young photographers. It is much cheaper, but the jump in price after a few years will be more significant. If, of course, scent, taste and art-dealer will not let you down.
Mainly on the price affects the circulation, which produced a specific job. Photography in a single item - a large and very expensive rarity, the standard range - 5-20 copies, and in most cases less than the circulation, the higher its value. However, you can buy editions (work, printed a large number - from 50 to 1000 copies) or albums that were released on the contrary, a limited edition - numbered and signed by the author.
It should delineate the photo in the traditional sense, and conceptual art, in which photo is used as one of the techniques. In the first case valued possession virtuoso classical fotopriemami. In the second - led the entire idea, but realized it could be very fairly straightforward. This explains the high prices for works by the artist Richard Prince, representing only reproductions of advertising posters.
Who is buying
From the heroes of our time is more or less clear: the work of Andreas Gursky, Cindy Sherman, Jeff Wall and Nan Goldin adorn any collection. And yet, you should pay attention to the less well-known characters.
Ryan McGinley (Ryan McGinley). This 31-year-old American's not for nothing can be seen in the company of photographers Jack Pearson and Bruce Weber. Even those Titans photography has much to learn from him. McGinley is working with the invited models, but the carefree girl and boy on his photo look as if he was shooting people from his entourage. McGinley is New York's Team Gallery (

Collin Laflesh (Collin LaFleche) - graduate student in Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. His touching and very truthful portraits - rare for a debutant luck. This leads to comparisons with the great Nan Goldin. The difference between one thing: if Goldin rented marginal, then the photographs Laflesha - golden youth. Any day to be released first album on the artist's explanation of the project on the Right After graduating from school in the early days of their adult lives.
