Introduction
Brancolini Grimaldi represents a broad range of artists of differing backgrounds, generations and nationalities but who are nonetheless united by their groundbreaking and experimental use of photography as a means of artistic expression. Artists who merge photography with other media introducing a more conceptual context to photography, it aims to redefine the future of the medium and the way it is displayed and experienced. The focus on new emerging art trends in Europe and around the world is also an integral component of the gallery’s approach.
Isabella Brancolini and Camilla Grimaldi recently opened a new gallery in central London which builds on their 10 years experience as curators and dealers and adds to their existing galleries in Rome and Florence.
What is your point of view on the financial side of the photographic market today ?
Although the market for photography in London is still young compared to New York or Paris, it has grown exponentially over the last few years. While New York is more focused on contemporary and Paris on vintage photography, London stands at the forefront of both fields. There have been more and more important exhibitions in the major London public institutions, among others the Victoria & Albert Museum, The Photographer’s Gallery and the Barbican Art Gallery which all exhibit a wide range of photography. The main auction houses in London have held photographic sales for many years. Collectors are increasingly serious in building up their collections. They compete with institutions by seeking out special pieces without space constraints, the aim being to build a collection and not just hanging work in their homes. We believe in the future of photography and the contemporary art market in London and feel it’s an exciting time for us to be here.
