Xesart was born from a fortuitous encounter with the world of photography in 2009. It all began with the collection of photographs, specifically those of small format that were part of personal archives. Among them was the famous Polikarpov I-16 airplane.
Subsequently, more prestigious photographs were incorporated into the archive, those that started to gain significant historical relevance, adding photographers of the caliber of Robert Capa, W. Eugene Smith, Lewis Hine, and Dorothea Lange, among others.
During this time, we acquired the necessary knowledge to distinguish between the different types of photographs that exist today, from the type of paper to the appraisal of the photographs, whether at auction or direct sale.
Therefore, our goal is to give both institutions and private collectors the opportunity to acquire and preserve the iconic photographs we offer, which hold great artistic and historical value. At the same time, we are continuously working to expand our offerings to include other art formats such as paintings and sculptures.
We offer a range of prices, so whether you are just starting out in art collecting or are an advanced collector, you will find a piece of art that suits your needs.
There are several reasons why investing in art photography can be rewarding. Here are a few:
Artistic Value: Like art in general, photography evokes unique sensations that arise when we contemplate it. For us, it represents words and emotions that endure over time, captured in that format.
Reduced Space for Preservation: Due to its size and ease of storage, acquiring this type of asset is more viable compared to sculptures and even paintings.
Appreciation: In recent years, the value of photographs, especially those by renowned photographers, has been increasing, reaching record prices at many auctions. This suggests that photography can be a safe investment and may even appreciate over time.
*This is not an investment recommendation. Each person should conduct their own research and draw their own conclusions to determine whether acquiring art is a viable option.
