Recently I partnered with ART PHOTO EXPO GALLERY, they are a Parisian couple that started the ARTPHOTOEXPO FAIR, created and produced by ART PHOTO EXPO CONCEPT GROUP as an avant-garde fair showcasing the world’s leading photographic art galleries. The first ARTPHOTOEXPO FAIR debuted in 2008 as a boutique gallery-based fair within established IN FASHION PHOTO exhibition. The Fair received a terrific response from the public, press and exhibiting galleries with over 30,000 attendees in 6 days, $2.5 million in press coverage and sales figures that exceeded expectations. During Art Basel 2008, ARTPHOTOEXPO FAIR offered a prime location and über chic space design, to ensure that a maximum number of art collectors and enthusiasts had access to the best photographic artworks. The main feature was the Naomi Campbell retrospective.
On September 14th, they opened their New York City location in SoHo, on West Broadway. The Art Photo Expo Gallery is in the former shoe store of Natalie Portman, where she sold limited edition shoes. Currently I have six of my father’s photographs from the 60's of Ali, Elvis and the Beatles hanging along with the works of some of the finest examples of fashion photography. My father’s collection hangs in the vintage section along with the works of Helmut Newton and photographs of Bridget Bardot, Steve McQueen and Alfred Hitchcock.
I attended the opening with two close friends, Ronna Gradus and Jill Bauer, they are currently in discussion with HBO about their documentary, “Sexy Baby”.
