Collectors' Print Program
Do you want to collect photography?
Members joining TPS at higher membership levels are eligible to receive, at a discounted price, a fine art print from featured established artists. Selected photographs for 2007 are by Tom Baril, Tom Chambers, Amy Holmes George, Luther Smith, Meg Birnbaum and Aline Smithson. We have sold 1,003 photographs in September's Fine Print Auction which is a part of PHOTOTexas weekend.
We have auctioned prints from nationally known photographers such as: Eve Arnold, Michael Kenna, Harry Benson, John Sexton, Ruth Bernhard, Keith Carter, Jerry Uelsmann and Kim Weston. Our color Auction Catalog is a great resource, not only for collectors but of contemporary photography. An excellent way to build an eclectic personal photography collection is through the TPS Member's Print Exchange. Participants submit one of their own archivally-printed and mounted images which will be randomly traded to another contributing member.
