Emilia-Romagna
Mosaici bizantini che brillano come gioielli incastonati nella pianura romagnola
A photograph is judged printed, not on a screen: size, paper and the depth of the blacks change an image more than you would expect. In Ravenna the institutions to start from are MAR (Museo d'Arte della città di Ravenna), Domus dei Tappeti di Pietra. Photography exhibitions are generally temporary, so it is worth checking the calendar before you go.
Cityscapes & Architecture
Ravenna is read in its façades and squares. For anyone who loves that geometry, a selection from ArtMarket's “Cityscapes & Architecture” and “Black & White” collections.
Three facts, always: the printing technique, the paper and the edition size. An art photograph is an edition declared in advance, numbered and signed; an image with no edition is a poster, however well printed. The guide to editions and print runs explains how to read those numbers.
It is mostly a question of the room. Black and white sits with almost any wall and any furniture; colour pulls the room towards it, so it is best chosen against the tones already there. If you lean towards monochrome, there is a dedicated selection in black and white photography in Ravenna.
Hand-signed photographic prints, ready to frame.
53 photographs by 8 contemporary artists, signed prints in editions of 25 with a certificate, in 40 × 30 cm and 60 × 40 cm formats, at 65–145 €. They do not depict Ravenna, and we do not claim they do: we offer them for how they see, not for what they show. The photography price guide compares them by format.
Direct sunlight and damp are the two enemies of any print. The practical rules are in the conservation guide.

The printing technique, the paper and the edition size. Those three define what the work is worth over time, and a serious seller states them without being asked twice.
Normally not: it is one copy of a numbered edition. The photographs we offer come in editions of 25, signed and with a certificate.
