YellowKorner Art Gallery

Overview

Fancy yourself a bit of an art aficionado but don't quite have the budget to put together your own private collection? You're in luck. French gallery chain and worldwide phenomenon YellowKorner are about to launch their first Australian store in Bondi Junction Westfield.

YellowKorner was lauched in France in 2006 by friends and photography lovers Alexandre de Metz and Paul-Antoine Brian, before opening in locations throughout Europe and the United States. The concept is simple: to make well-known photographic prints accessible to people on a smaller budget. Instead of offering 10 prints at £5,000, the gallery chooses to publish 500 at £100, making art available to a wider group of budding collectors.

YellowKorner presents a wide panorama of contemporary photography worldwide. The initiative makes it possible to buy works by some of the world's best: Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Dorothea Lange, Man Ray, Jean Dieuzaide and Bert Stern

YellowKorner is set to launch in Bondi Junction on Monday 4 November, with special guest artist, France's Oliver Lavielle rumoured to be making an appearance. de Metz and Briat are certainly succeeding in their aim to offer more affordable prices, making it easier for anyone to build a terrific print collection.
