About HK Photographs and Picture This Publications

HK Photographs

Hamburg Kennedy Photographs is a private art advisory service with over 30 years of expertise in the Contemporary & Photographic Arts of the 20th & 21st centuries. We are the only private salon in NYC with extensive collections exhibited in a 3000-square foot loft, located downtown at 54 Stone Street, as well as in maintaining a space in Miami. Maintaining a broad inventory of vintage photography and contemporary works of art with particular emphasis in the Post War Period, Hamburg Kennedy Photographs provides a personal confidential service to clients worldwide with market savvy advice and guidance. We offer a highly individualized approach to advising both the novice and seasoned collector to buying blue chip and emerging painting, sculpture, works on paper and photography and with strong ideals of trust and friendship we enjoy long-term relationships with our clients.

Working from the belief that art holds a special value in our lives and in our history, we understand how to value art and our team of Specialists have in depth knowledge of the art world from a background in galleries and auction houses. Hamburg Kennedy Photographs also sees art as a prominent and strong asset class. We approach collecting and buying art from an equally qualitative and quantitative vantage point, merging the daily pleasure of living with and collecting art, with the merits of finding works that will be poised for solid future growth and long term investment.

Our strong relationships with a vast network of domestic and international artists, dealers and auction houses allow us access to highly sought after works of art. Since we do not function as a gallery representing artists per se, we offer unbiased advice based on individual clients needs and interests. We operate our business like a private art salon, and work out of an elegant loft in the Wall Street area. We are open to the public by appointment, 7 days a week.

We are strictly a buyer's broker and not a primary gallery; we work for you - the client and not the seller. We assist in art acquisition and conduct all negotiations on your behalf saving you time and money at no additional cost.
