You're invited to a (not so) humble party

Tomorrow, Phaidon will team up with the non-profit Humble Arts Foundation to celebrate the emerging international photographers featured in their book The Collector’s Guide to New Art Photography, Vol. 2. Edited by the Humble Arts Foundation founders - Amani Olu and Jon Feinstein, The Collector’s Guide serves not only as a reference for curators, collectors and art professionals, but also as a barometer of the current moment in photography.

Mathieu Bernard-Reymond, Exxon Mobil 9am to 11am (2005)

It features 100 of the most innovative photographers including, Mathieu Bernard-Reymond (image above) who uses financial charts and statistics into curves and sculptural shapes which then form massive constructions close to memorials or monumental sculptures; Erika Larsen (image below) whose photographs document the enchanting white-washed world of the Sámi People - an indigenous Arctic population; and Robin Schwartz (top image) who photographs his daughter in "invented" worlds they create together.

Erika Larsen, Spring Migration, (2009)

Phaidon will be giving away complimentary copies of The Collector’s Guide with the purchase of a Phaidon photography book during the event so come raise a glass to the pioneering work of the Humble Arts Foundation and meet the artists featured in The Collector’s Guide to New Art Photography, Vol. 2.
