Fotografia, um segmento do mercado

As últimas décadas do século XX coincidiram com a popularização da fotografia. As feiras e leilões dedicados a este meio são actualmente mais uma das manifestações comerciais no mercado artístico. Entre 19 e 22 de Novembro, no Carrousel du Louvre (Paris), realiza-se a Paris Photo, o principal evento mundial dedicado à promoção e divulgação da fotografia num contexto comercial. Os 89 stands de galerias e 13 publicações (provenientes de 23 países) presentes na Paris Photo apresentam uma visão panorâmica da expressão fotográfica desde o século XIX até ao presente. Para a edição deste ano, a feira propõe uma exploração inédita das práticas fotográficas dos países árabes e do Irão. O projecto é comissariado por Catherine David, responsável pela Documenta X, de Kassel (Alemanha), em 1997. Dos sete novos países presentes, Portugal está representado pela Pente 10 – Fotografia Contemporânea, de Lisboa. A qual vem juntar-se a outras galerias como a 798 Photo Gallery, de Pequim, Galerie Baudoin Lebon ou Galerie Vu, ambas de Paris, Galería Juana de Aizpuru, de Madrid, The Photographer’s Gallery, de Londres, ou a Aperture Gallery, Nova Iorque.
