Images as ambassadors
Courageous photographers and journalists show beautiful things every day, as well as cruel, disturbing and alarming events. In this world, a lot of things are in a mess. Hatred, disrespect for life, religious fanaticism lead to wars, to poverty, to environmental destruction and thus to suffering and misery. Images can change the world through their impact and the message they send, without the need for words. As an internationally operating art trading company, we feel an obligation to point out deficiencies and thus support the mission of many photographers. In the same way, however, we also want to address the beautiful things in this world that photographs give to us.
