Splinter: Photo Art Fair

About

The photograph is the new work of art — and a gallery in Chelsea has plans to make great pics available at affordable prices in a special one-day event at the end of this month. The most expensive snap ever, cost a New York buyer a cool £2.8millon two years ago. But thanks to Splinter, a concept from the Michael Hoppen Gallery in Jubilee Place, the event will offer a wide range of 19th, 20th and 21st century photography for the second year running. With many pieces priced at a few hundred pounds and all under £1,000, it's the perfect environment for new and experienced collectors to browse through hundreds of photographs to add or start a collection, or simply find the perfect present. The Royal College of Art students and an independent specialist book dealer: Oliver Wood will also take part.The independent photo dealers participating are: Jenny Allsworth, Roland Belgrave, Pierre Spake, Caroline Markovic and the Michael Hoppen gallery. ---- URL: Twitter http://atnd.it/1bQ36Nd ---- Artists: Joe Szabo, Araki polaroids, Karl Blossfeldt, Colin Jones, Shoji Ueda, anonymous work. ========
