Well, it depends on whether you see the art as the concept or the execution. I assume that all of thse guys can develop a picture, but with the advent of Large Format Digital Photography, the ability to express with a camera has been greatly enhanced. Plus, the quality prints in huge sizes are only available digitally.

Isn't that completely missing half the point?

You mean, instead of the traditional wet process?

Yes, exactly.

I wanted something from Loretta Lux; but, the prices are ridiculous right now and should hopefully come down in a few years.


I checked out Goicolea's website. What exquisite photographs...

I didn't know Slimane was a photographer. Where can I find the work?

I also like Greenberg and Lux.

Did any of you see that documentary on that famous photographer whose husband has some terrible disease, and she had that famous exhibit of her kids? Now her new project is photographing death? I cannot find the name. But, she was incredible and I'd love to find out who she was.

Anthony Goicolea is a master of manipulation...he is the subject of all of those works with the boys. But, at a recent exhibit he super imposed buildings and landscapes so flawlessly it was surreal. He did The Septembrists video for Thom Browne's S/S 07 fashion show. Most of his prints go for 8-10k as they are also several feet by several feet. There are a few small ones that are an ed. of 50 that came with his signed book that is about $1500.

Slimane had a few things...pvt message me your email and I can send you a .pdf of the Berlin series. There is only a gallery in Japan and Paris that have the prints ed. of 5 and they are about $5-6k.

The Jil Greenberg monkey and bear portraits are simply awesome. They are also a great size and for $4500 are an amazing way to make quite the statement.

Loretta Lux about a year or so ago you could buy for $1500 for a small 6"x8" size or the larger 8x10-12" for $3,000. Now you won't find anything under $10,000 and some fetch up to $30,000. My friend bought "Troll 3" for about $1400 and sold it a few months ago for $8,000.

www.clampart.com is my favorite photography gallery in New York. Brian the owner is great and you can check out and price lots of things on the website. Not only check the Artists tab; but, also scroll through all of inventory. I'm thinking of buying "Bullfighter" by James Bidgood from him.

I remember when Diane Arbus was somewhat inexpensive. My favorite Arbus: However, compared to paintings and the like, good photography is still inexpensive. A good Friedlander can still be be had under $10,000.

This is "Demi-portrait d´un couple" 26.11.69. VI. I haven't got the righjt book handy, so I can't find the "Bloch number", but it's a fairly typical print from his latest years. It's signed and dated in the stone printing block only, and so the sheet isn't signed by hand. (If yours happens to have an original signature, that would increase the value significantly.) Also, condition is very important when it comes to works on paper, as paper is often very difficult and expensive to restore. At auction I suppose a print in top condition might reach $1.000, normally a bit less. You can probably find it at far higher prices at specialised dealers. Nice wedding present - topic and all...

Sally Mann? I'm probably meeting her Thursday, at her new exhibition in Oslo.

Exactly! What Remains, that was the name of it. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for the info. Now if we could find a convenient way to ship it (it has a pretty heavy frame) from Paris to New York, we could actually enjoy it in our home...

I can hold onto it for you while you figure out a way...

That's like saying, " It depends upon whether you see an automobile as the design of the skin or the engineering underneath it." The relationship is symbiotic. Also, I recall seeing very large printed images before the advent of digital printing. I doubt if the process is available anymore. I'm not sure all photographers can wet process a photograph. Digital and wet process are two distinct mediums, like pastel and oil.

Digital and wet process are two distinct mediums, like pastel and oil.

In fact, it seems very large traditional prints are much more labor-intensive than large format digital prints.

Ansel Adams was one photographer who was known for his rather large prints, and there were was also Edward Weston, et al. who did platinum prints which is a particularly difficult process.

There are also some people who do exclusively 19th century processes, very labor-intensive.
