This year, 2024, the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt (FFF) celebrates its 40th anniversary. As one of the first independent centres for photography in Europe, the FFF continues to contribute to the international photographic art scene. At the end of the anniversary year, there will be a special opportunity for both new and established collectors to bid on classic works and new discoveries from the international photographic art scene. On Saturday, November 9 2024, at 10 am, a BENEFIT AUCTION will take place with 40 outstanding works by artists shown at the FFF. The proceeds will go towards future FFF projects. This event is a cooperation with the Frankfurt auction house Auktionshaus Arnold (Bleichstraße 40–42, 60313 Frankfurt am Main). A preview will be held at the auction house on Friday, November 8, 2024, 10 am–6 pm
