Photo l.a.

Santa Monica Civic auditorium, Los Angeles

The longstanding photo l.a. returns to the historic Santa Monica Civic Auditorium for its 21st edition on January 12 - 16, 2012. Continuing the discourse on photography's place in the fine arts, photo l.a. provides dealers from around the globe a platform for the exhibition of vintage masterworks, contemporary photography, as well as video and multimedia installations. This exciting juxtaposition creates the character that is photo l.a.

photo l.a. is proud to once again host the Wallis Annenberg Department of Photography at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art as the beneficiary for the opening night preview reception on January 12, 2012 6 - 9 pm.

Over the last couple decades, photo l.a. has exhibited more than 300 galleries, private dealers and publishers, as well as presented more than 150 lectures and collecting seminars to the public. The continued effort to create a dynamic experience for photo l.a. patrons has not only increased a very loyal fan base, but has attracted over 11,000 interested collectors, curators and dealers of photography annually.

In addition to the continuation of the lectures, panels, book signings, and special installations, photo l.a. is pleased to announce Salon de Tableaux, an area of tabletop presentations showcasing vintage, vernacular and unique photography. Also, photo l.a. is proud to introduce photoBOOK - a forum with guest reviewers offering feedback to photographers on their book proposals.
