Satellite events and specialist photography sales are riding on the coattails of Photo London (May 18-21) this spring, coinciding with the fair’s four-day run at Somerset House, writes Gabriel Berner.
Sotheby’s is auctioning the collection of fine art dealer Eric Franck on May 19 in New Bond Street. Through Franck’s personal connections with photographers (his sister Martine married the pioneer street photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson), he has amassed an enviable collection.
More than £1m worth of his collection has already been donated to the Tate, more than doubling the institution’s holdings of photography.
