Photo fair returns to local arts picture
Print Edition
PHOTO Shanghai, Asia’s premier photography art fair, will return this September to the Shanghai Exhibition Center. The fair will open to VIPs on September 10 and to the public from 11 to 13.
Upon its initial launch in 2014, Photo Shanghai gained much attention from local art lovers, among whom photography collecting is still relatively rare.
The 2015 edition, once more directed by Alexander Montague-Sparey, will offer a highly curated exhibition of vintage and contemporary masterworks from 50 of the world’s leading photography galleries from Asia-Pacific, Europe and the United States.
The fair will include a special museum scale exhibition of 190 works by celebrated American artist Taryn Simon, presented by Gagosian Gallery.
Simon is known for her unique weaving of photography, text and graphic design and is widely regarded as one of the finest contemporary photographers working today.
A retrospective of her work is currently on view at the Jeu de Paume Museum in Paris. Gagosian Gallery will present the full series of Simon’s seminal Birds of the West Indies.
“After last year’s success, we are delighted to bring to Shanghai an even stronger hand-picked selection of works by the world’s leading galleries for the medium,” says Montague-Sparey, the fair director. “Photo Shanghai will offer once again a unique opportunity for collectors and curators to experience the best in fine art photography by the key international players in the field.”
In addition to the exhibition, leading experts in the field will host a series of talks and events.
Photo Shanghai is a part of Shanghai Art Week, a new collaboration between the fair and West Bund Art & Design and Art in the City Festival in September.
Date: September 10 (VIPs); September 11-13 (public)
Venue: Shanghai Exhibition Center, 1000 Yan’an Rd M.
