Splinter Photography Fair April 27, 2013

Summary:

The most expensive snap ever cost a New York buyer £2.8millon in 2011. Thanks to Splinter, at the Michael Hoppen Gallery, a range of prints will be available from a few hundred pounds up to £1,000.

Description:

The photograph is the new work of art – and a Chelsea gallery has plans to make great pics available at affordable prices in a special two-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. 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.

MACK, publishers of some of the most respected contemporary photography books today will also take part as will the Royal College of Art students.
