On August 21st, I was invited to a panel discussion on "Fashion Photography - Art or Commerce?" which was organized in conjunction with the exhibition "Zeitlos schön: 100 Jahre Modefotografie von Man Ray bis Mario Testino", curated by Nathalie Hirschdorfer from the image archive of Condé Nast, at the Museum Bellerive in Zürich, Switzerland. Aside from the curator of the exhibition, who also moderated the discussion, the other invited panelist was the gallerist Christophe Guye. It was an interesting discussion on the merits of embracing fashion photography, or at least some of its positions, by the art world and/or the art market.
