About
"Making Work... Now What ?" at the International Center of Photography
Arts + Business Partners (ABP)
Founded in 1999, Arts + Business Partners (ABP) is a consulting
boutique that offers workshops (in-person and virtual) and
private advising for both collectors and photographers
looking to learn about the fine art photography market.
Collectors -- no matter beginner or more seasoned -- learn the
do's and don'ts of the market along with the questions to ask
in order to make smart acquisition decisions.
Photographers learn how to brand themselves, create effective
marketing materials and tips to access the marketplace.
ABP works with prominent galleries, auction houses and cultural institutions across the United States and abroad. Over 1,000 collectors, photographers, museum trustees (and their children), members of museum acquisition and exhibition committees, gallery owners, private art advisors and art appraisers have cycled through our workshops and/or engaged our advising services. We’ve worked with 45 galleries globally and placed roughly 120 photographs in private collections.
ABP President, Alice Sachs Zimet, lectures regularly at schools, auction houses, museums and photo festivals. Clients include: AXA Art Americas, Center for Photography at Woodstock, Christie's Education, FotoFest, Harvard Art Museums, Heritage Auctions, Houston Center for Photography, International Center of Photography, Maine Media Workshops + College, Professional Women Photographers, Santa Fe Workshops, Sotheby's Institute of Art, Swann Auction Galleries, and the Harvard Business School Alumni programs.
