IDENTIFYING AN ANSEL ADAMS ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH
Before you proceed further, it is very important to first confirm that you are in possession of an authentic Ansel Adams. An original photograph is defined as a photograph that was taken by Ansel Adams and also printed by him in his lifetime.
By selling or consigning your art with The Ansel Adams Gallery, you will tap into an established and passionate network of collectors eager to acquire exceptional pieces. Renowned as one of the premier dealers—if not the very best—in Ansel Adams' legacy worldwide, we bring over a century of expertise to the table. Our commitment to maintaining our esteemed reputation means we prioritize quality and integrity over quick transactions.
CONSIGNING VS SELLING
Technically speaking, the option of consign or sell exists primarily when you are working with galleries and dealers (like The Ansel Adams Gallery)
ASSESSING THE CONDITION OF A PHOTOGRAPH
Condition is always difficult to assess and somewhat subjective. Our rating system is an effort to make a meaningful distinction between the found condition of photographs that are today, between approximately 40 and 100 years old.
UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET
There are multiple sources of photographic art, falling into one of two general categories – primary and secondary markets. There will be some cross over, but these are the main places where people buy and sell their artwork.
