3:25pm - 4:30pm	Photography Market Trends – What’s Hot and What’s Not Deborah Rogal \| Director, Photographs Department \| Swann Galleries The photography market has become a fast-paced environment of auctions, fairs, and gallery shows, and like many mediums the headlines over the last year have focused on softening sales. But, a deeper look reveals areas of strength and dynamism, notably at entry level price points. Recent trends in sales, changes in the market post-Covid, and reconsiderations of the medium all allow a deeper look at selling trends.
