Art Fairs: Misen-en-scenes from the Art World

Summary: Dolph Kessler photographed for three years at International Art Fairs in cities like Amsterdam, Basel, Brussels, London, Miami and Rotterdam. In a subtle, clear and unassuming way, Kessler analyses how the system of signals, social codes and ideas of an art fair works. The starting point is always the stands themselves. Kessler photographs them as if they were small theatres.
