This is our third look at the Unseen Collection, a collection of works contributed by galleries participating in the Unseen Photo Fair, for prices under 1,000 euro. Previous works featured include work by Ralph Baiker (Mirko Mayer Gallery) and Matthew Brandt (Yossi Milo Gallery). Today we present a remastered photograph by Brian Duffy (1933-2010), whose work will be represented by Gallery Vassie at Unseen Photo Fair.

10 x 10 inches
Limited edition of 30
€ 800
English photographer and film producer Brian Duffy (1933-2010) is best remembered for his fashion photography of the 1960s and 1970s and his creation of the iconic "Aladdin Sane" image for rockstar David Bowie. Gallery Vassie has contributed this black and white negative remastered photograph of the original, in a limited edition of 30 prints. The photograph is stamped in ink with the Duffy Archive stamp and is titled, numbered and dated in pencil.
To continue our weekly collecting tips (see our interview with Foam Editions Manager Florentine Haverkamp, and a video of gallery owner Yossi Milo), we would like to share the name of a recent publication that offers insightful tips on collecting photography. Published in February 2012 by Thames & Hudson Publishers, Collect Contemporary Photography is by Jocelyn Phillips, Head of the Photography department at Bonhams in London.
Featured is American photographer Alex Prager (1979)
From discovering photographers to determining editions and displaying prints, the book accompanies collectors through the whole process of acquiring photographic works, while providing guidance on practical matters including information about different photographic techniques (Thames & Hudson ). In a Wall Street Journal article, Phillips called building a photography collection "a journey of discovering tastes and interests," and advises new collectors to see as much work as possible at exhibitions, fairs, auctions and galleries before making a purchase.
Stay tuned for next weeks' featured work from the Unseen Collection!
