A COLLECTOR'S FIRST PURCHASE We would like to introduce the first of a series of short videos featuring collectors and their first photography purchase. Under the title, A Collector's First Purchase, a number of aspiring and established collectors share their first experiences buying photographs. In the first film, Amsterdam-based strategist, James Wilkins, tells us about the personal connection he has with his first photograph, about building one's collection and tips for first-time buyers. The series will continue with more insights into the world of collecting. More videos can be found on Unseen's YouTube channel.
FASHION! PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE CAMERA WORK COLLECTION The special exhibition that will take place during Unseen will be Fashion! Photographs from the Camera Work Collection, made possible by the Blockbusterfonds.
