Introduction
The Mexican gallery and bookshop Grafika la Estampa is specialised in Mexican graphic art. It provides prints, photographs and illustrated books dating from the post-revolutionary era, known as the “Mexican Renaissance”.
What is your point of view on the financial side of the photographic market today?
The Grafika la Estampa gallery is proud to participate for the first time in Paris-Photo. We have been following the market for photography for more than ten years, back when it hardly existed in Mexico, apart from a few American and European collectors who had the foresight to see the place that photography would make for itself in the international art market. Being the sole gallery from a Latin-American country at Paris-Photo provides us with an opportunity to break into that market. We believe that the public is eager for new work, and the proof is the growing interest in Latin-American photography. Horacio Fernandez’s El Fotolibro Latinoaméricano is only the most direct evidence of the creation of this new market. Financially speaking, we can say that the increased value of photography, thanks to an increased interest by collectors and institutions alike, has made it a safe choice for whomever is willing to invest.
