GERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY – From reality to fiction [10/05/2006]
Bernd and Hilla Becher are the leading lights of “objective” photography in Germany. Their approach refutes the anecdotal and focuses on inventorying anonymous “industrial sculptures” that appear throughout our environment. The radicalism of their documentary work had a strong impact on their students including Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Thomas STRUTH and Candida HÖFER. This later generation of photographers assimilated much of the Becher’s approach, although sometimes freeing itself from the “objective” view of reality by altering their images. From an auction and museum preference point of view, the later generation seems to have become more popular than the objective purism of the Becher period.
Contemporary photography: +35% in 2004 [21/03/2005]
In the mid-1990s, paintings were the only medium in the art market that investors considered of any speculative interest.

The photography market has been expanding rapidly for the past five years and is today one of the art world’s fastest-growth segments.

Contemporary photographers rise in the east [03/08/2003]
A wave of enthusiasm among younger generation collectors has driven contemporary photography prices up by 92% in less than six years, an annual growth rate of more than 12.7%. This kind of speculative rally used to be the preserve of big name German and US photographers, but in the last few months the market seems to have been led by less renowned artists of other nationalities.
