In this short course, leading art historian and gallery owner James Hyman will introduce participants to collecting photography.

Collecting photographic images is an accessible way to build up an art collection, and photography is an art form that many of us will relate to in a very immediate an instinctive way.

With his many years of experience, both as a collector and a seller of photographic and other forms of art, James will guide course attendees in exploring the various different aspects of collecting photographic images, from judging the quality of photographs to finding out where to buy them.

As well as drawing on the experience of building up his own collection, on the course participants will visit many of the key players in the art-photography market in London, gaining access through James’s contacts, built up over many years buying and selling photographic prints. They will also visit museums, other private collectors, a specialist photography dealer and an auction house specialising in photography.

The course is suitable for new collectors, and experienced collectors and those interested in collecting more generally, perhaps with a view to entering the gallery or museum profession.

No previous experience is necessary and all are welcome.
