PHOTOFAIRS | San Francisco audiences will have the opportunity to engage with some of the nation's leading artists and industry experts as they discuss the medium, new genres, and maverick West Coast international photographers' unique influence on the art of photography.PHOTOFAIRS public programs are anchored by Insights: New Approaches to Photography since 2000, an exhibition offering unique, non-editioned works for private sale, curated by Alexander Montague-Sparey, Artistic Director, PHOTOFAIRS and Allie Haeusslein, Associate Director, Pier 24 Photography, San Francisco. The Insights exhibition, presented in two parts, focuses entirely on cutting-edge artists using photography to push the boundaries of the medium. Insights is a particularly relevant platform for PHOTOFAIRS, as collectors are increasingly placing more importance on the collection of single-edition works.Montague-Sparey comments. "For Insights, we have selected artists that exemplify this movement in photography, as a way of underliningcontemporary approaches to the medium in the 21st century. Photography has almost ironically come full-circle. Some artists are re-using analog techniques in new and fascinating ways to produce unique photographs, whilst others are inspired by painting and sculpture. The premise of Insights and the artists featured give a nod to 19th century French photographers and the birth of photography as an artistic medium.
