Dialogue Vintage Photography Festival Information

Until now, the Netherlands lacked a meeting point for Vintage Photography. Inspired by the famous Frido Troost (1960-2013), whose Institute of Concrete Matter, offered a space where collectors, curators and photographers could meet and have extraordinary encounters and dialogues on photography, two curators and three collectors joined forces and initiated Dialogue. Dialogue is organized by the Dialogue Foundation, a non-profit organization aiming to further the interest in vintage photography in the broadest sense of the word. On the 21st of September 2019 Dialogue will host a very first Dialogue event where Dialogue will present 1700 m2 of vintage photography & photo books, exhibitions & presentations, a vintage photography fair with numerous galleries, a dynamic program with workshops, artist talks and a panel discussion, Dialogue tables, Food, drinks and festivities. At the Dialogue Vintage Photo Fair, a great variety of images and photo books will be for sale. Collectors and dealers from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, United Kingdom and various other countries will bring their latest acquisitions in the field of vintage photography (1839 – c.1990): among others fine art photography, press and fashion photography, 19th century travel photography, salt and albumen prints, cartes de visite and stereo views. Several book dealers will offer an interesting selection of collectible photo books and reference materials.
