Introduction
The Robert Klein Gallery was established in 1980 and ranks among the world’s most prestigious showrooms of fine art photography. Robert Klein opened his Newbury Street space with early exhibitions of Diane Arbus, Annie Leibovitz, Sally Mann, and Hiroshi Sugimoto. From 1995 through 2008, Robert served as President of the Board of Directors of the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD). During his tenure, Robert engineered the 2006 expansion of The AIPAD Photography Show New York to the Park Avenue Armory.
The Robert Klein Gallery maintains an extensive and ever-changing inventory of 19th century, 20th century, and contemporary photographs. Participating in international art fairs such as Paris Photo and the AIPAD Photography Show New York, the Robert Klein Gallery provides its contemporary artists with international exposure while exhibiting works by recognized masters such as Ansel Adams, Helen Levitt, and Irving Penn.
What is your point of view on the financial side of the photographic market today ?
The photography market is a reflection of the world economy. Today, there’s uncertainty and caution. The middle class has shrunk and the money supply has contracted. Museum endowments are fragile. The base of collectors is smaller with fewer middle income buyers. Fewer people are buying second homes so there are fewer walls that need art. The serious collector who still has a secure bank account is buying. There are fewer new buyers. The role of the fine art gallery is being redefined as art fairs and the Internet become increasingly important venues for conducting business.
