Fine Art Photography for Sale | LUMAS (2023)

From the early 20th century onwards, photography began to develop into an avant-garde art form, including playing a huge role in the emerging technique of collage art, which combined photographs with drawings, objects, and painting. Photography became an established medium in contemporary art. It was also massively influential in another sense.

Together with the rise of lithography and other types of art prints, fine art photography prints contributed to a new climate of cultural production, in which reproduction was the watchword. The implications of this new paradigm - famously identified by the philosopher Walter Benjamin, who called attention to the decline of uniqueness as the flagship indicator of an artwork's value and meaning - reverberated throughout the arts.

In the United States, the photographer and publicist Alfred Stieglitz capitalized on the young medium. His haunting portrait series of Georgia O'Keeffe, which drew attention to her hands, is today one of the most recognizable landmarks in the history of photography as a fine art. Along with other photographic artists like Ansel Adams and Edward Steichen, Stieglitz brought photography into its own as a fine art genre.

The LUMAS collection is large and encompasses numerous themes and genres, from fine art portraits to nudes. Our collection of fashion photography is distinguished by its focus on electrifying runway scenes and a unique selection vintage and black and white fashion pieces. Our landscapes, taken by some of the world's most impressive landscape photographers, challenge the conventions of the genre while also doing what landscapes are traditionally relied upon to do: envelop us in new and tranquil worlds.

Our thought-provoking photographs are produced as limited-edition prints, using a combination of traditional and cutting-edge photo development techniques. They are then mounted onto aluminum Dibond, a high-end aluminum composite specifically designed for artworks. Our curators work with artists to determine the best framing and mounting options. Pieces are generally available frameless or in a precision-made, hand-finished frame, mounted under museum-grade glass.
