ROTTERDAM.- Haute Photographie returns to Rotterdam for the fifth time with a focus on the diversity of the photographic landscape. To keep the concept of the ‘boutique fair’ alive, the list of participating galleries is once again select and varied. The selection includes some of the best galleries in the Netherlands as well as international institutions ranging from New York to Madrid and from Paris to Zürich. Like in previous years, vintage photography has its own sections as well.
Rotterdam’s boutique photography fair returns during Art Rotterdam Week, the biggest art event of the Netherlands, to create new experiences for art collectors and photography enthusiasts alike. Haute Photographie will take place from 6 to 9 February 2020 at LP2 in Rotterdam. Haute is delighted to announce the 50 participating artists, as well as this year’s six Haute Talents and the high-quality book market.

Haute Photography 2020 Campaign Artist
This year’s campaign image is an artwork by Bastiaan Woudt (NL, 1987). As a self-taught photographer, studying the history of photography by devouring books and visiting exhibitions, Bastiaan Woudt quickly developed a signature style. His preference for classic subjects and styles ranging from surrealism to the 1960s is visible in the portraits he shoots in his own studio. During his career, he made several trips abroad, including Marokko and Uganda. A selection of Woudt’s new work will be shown at the fair.
