Want to collect photography but don’t know where to begin?
Come navigate the photography market and learn how to build a meaningful collection in this 5-part course led by pioneering collector Alice Sachs Zimet. Drawing on 40 years of collecting experience, Zimet offers insider insights into the photography market, from evaluating prints and understanding signatures, print dates, and condition reports to how to bid at auction and working with galleries and dealers.
Through practical advice, a virtual visit with a prominent photography dealer, and discussions about collecting strategies, participants will gain the knowledge and confidence to make informed acquisitions. The course concludes with a hands-on assignment in which students research and present a photograph they might consider purchasing. Designed for aspiring and experienced collectors, as well as photographers interested in understanding the market.
