‘T3 PHOTO ASIA’ is a new art fair introduced by ‘T3 PHOTO FESTIVAL TOKYO,’ now in its 6th year, to contribute to the creation of a market for Asian art photography.

With 14 galleries showcasing and selling a carefully curated selection of exquisite art photography, the event will feature internationally renowned post-war Japanese photography, as well as works by Korean photographers who have recently emerged to be prominent.
 
Special exhibitions include “Discover New Asia,” which highlights Asian female photographers who are exploring new genres of photographic expression, and “Masters,” an exhibition of original vintage prints by postwar Asian photographers.

As a fair dedicated to Asian art photography, T3 PHOTO ASIA also features a diverse range of Korean galleries and photographers. Gallery Yeh will unveil unpublished vintage prints by Korean realist photographer Limb Eung-Sik, while newcomer Oh Yeonjin will exhibit as part of the special exhibition “Discover New Asia,” reflecting the current trend of radically rethinking the medium of photography.
