ICP and ROAR Host Masterclass on Photography Market and Collecting

The International Center of Photography (ICP) and ROAR are co-hosting a salon-style masterclass focused on the photography market and the art of collecting. The event aims to demystify the opaque world of photography collecting, offering insider guidance typically reserved for private advisors. Scheduled to take place in ICP's third floor exhibition galleries, the program begins with a reception at 6 PM featuring drinks and canapés, followed by a salon discussion from 6:30 to 7:10 PM. Gallerists and photography advisors will lead the conversation, covering topics such as reading auction results, identifying worthwhile fairs and gatherings, understanding how markets for photographers or movements develop, and starting to buy with confidence. The session is designed for both novice and seasoned collectors, emphasizing the accessibility of photography as an entry point into the art market. This event reflects a growing interest in photography collecting, driven by longer lives and increased means, and positions ICP and ROAR as key educational resources in the field.
