Photo Dealers Exhibit to Motivated Customers!
Dealers and collectors of vintage photography and all the gear required to create, develop, manipulate, and merchandise the photography medium will gather in Rochester, N.Y. on April 22 for the Antiquarian Photography Show and Sale.
A substantial number of collectors will already be present for the Photography Show as the show concludes the international PhotoHistory/PhotoFuture conference. Dealers will meet motivated and subject-focused collectors, offering them opportunities to enhance, upgrade, and complete collections.
That the conference and the Photo Show are hosted in Rochester, N.Y. seems perfectly apt; Rochester is the world’s imaging capital.
A limited number of vendor tables for the Photo Show and Sale is available. Dealers in antiquarian and vintage photography as well as related ephemera and artifacts interested in exhibiting should reserve space soon; call 585-475-5819, email laura.diponzio.heise@rit.edu , or visit the website https://www.rit.edu/twc/photohistoryconference/.
The Antiquarian Photography Show and Sale is the capstone event for the international PhotoHistory/PhotoFuture conference. More than 70 scholars from nine nations and 15-plus U. S. states, including representatives from museums, archives and universities, will present their research on April 20-21. The range of subjects to be discussed matches the breadth of the conference’s professional and geographical reach.
Attendance of more than 200 for the conference and another 400-600 for the Antiquarian Show is expected. Historically, the Photography Show drew up to 800 attendees.
The Photography Showx is open to the general public for $6 admission beginning at 9 a.m. and runs until 3 p.m. Conference attendees receive admission to the show as part of their conference registration fee ($125).
Both the PhotoHistory/PhotoFuture conference and the Antiquarian Photography Show and Sale are sponsored and organized by RIT Press, the scholarly book publishing enterprise at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
