International Fair for Contemporary Photography and Video
Once again this year, on 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th May 2007, the Fundación Centro Ordóñez-Falcón de Fotografía
(COFF) will organise the 4th International Contemporary Photography and Video Fair, DFOTO, at the Kursaal
Centre in San Sebastian.
Thanks to its consolidation in the last three years, DFOTO has become a must on the calendar for all professionals
and lovers of photography and video. Proof of this is the rising number of visits by collectors and the general
public experienced in the previous three years of the event.
Although many galleries have shown an interest in participating in DFOTO, this year, on 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th May,
41 national and international galleries will therefore attend the Fair on invitation from the organisation: Adhoc
(Vigo), Clairefontaine (Luxembourg), Estiarte (Madrid), Estrany de la Mota (Barcelona), Juan Silió (Santander),
Filomena Soares (Lisbon, Portugal), Flatland Gallery (Utrecht, Holland), Fúcares (Madrid - Almagro), Gilles
Peyroulet & Cie (Paris, France), Gimpel Fils (London, the UK), Kamel Mennour (Paris, France), La Fábrica
Galería (Madrid), Les Filles du Calvaire (Paris), Mai 36 (Zurich, Switzerland), Max Estrella (Madrid), Moisés
Pérez de Albéniz (Pamplona), Nogueras Blanchard (Barcelona), Galerie Paul Fréches (Paris, France), Palma
XII (Villafranca del Penedés, Barcelona) Pedro Oliveira (Oporto, Portugal), ProjecteSD (Barcelona), Salvador
Díaz (Madrid), Stefan Röpke (Madrid and Cologne, Germany), T20 (Murcia), Tomás March (Valencia), Toni
Tápies (Barcelona), Visor (Valencia) and Vu’ La Galerie (Paris, France).
In this 4th year, 13 galleries will moreover attend the San Sebastian International Contemporary Photography
and Video Fair for the first time: Akinci (Amsterdam, the Netherlands), Bacelos (Pontevedra), Carlos Carvalho
(Lisbon, Portugal), Cubo Azul (León), Fidel Balaguer (Barcelona), Grita Insam (Vienna, Austria), Layr Wuestenhagen
(Vienna, Austria), L.A. Lothar (Frankfurt, Germany), Oliva Arauna (Madrid), Pradilla (Madrid), Rubicon (Dublin,
Ireland), Soskine (New York, the USA) and The Project (New York, the USA).
As in the previous three years, this year’s fair will include a complete Collectors’ Program, an endeavour aiming
to attract and convert San Sebastian into a reference in the world of image, promoting and generating a
favourable atmosphere for private, institutional and corporate collectors.
Following the tremendous success and popularity of its previous editions, on this occasion DFOTO will once
again include a bookshop managed by Railowsky from Valencia, pioneer in photography especialized bookshops
in Spain and one of Europe’s most prestigious entities in the field of publications on photography, where visitors
will be able to purchase books, catalogues and magazines on the subject, hence contributing to knowledge
about and diffusion of this means of expression. Since its foundation in 1985, they created a vast selection of
photography books and they organised to many exhibitions in its own gallery.
