It’s a collector’s weekend!
Stan Trecker, Dean Emeritus of Lesley University will present the award to Robert Klein.
Deborah Willis, photographer, curator, author and educator will present the award to Arnika Dawkins.
After both of the award recipients accept their Focus Awards, Robert Klein will talk a little about the evolution of the photo market. He will give an overview of where the photo market was in 1978 when he first became involved up to the present day impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. After, we will open up opportunity for the audience to ask questions and have dialogue.
Some examples are:
W.M. Hunt, the great champion of photography as a collector, curator and consultant, will talk about how to collect photography, what to collect in photography and what he collects and our auction. The program is at 3 PM on November 14, 2020.
