David Yarrow valuation
Gets the camera closer to the animal than sense allows, and prints it very large in black and white.
David Yarrow was born in Glasgow in 1966 and began as a sports photographer — the picture of Maradona holding the World Cup in 1986 was his, taken at twenty. The later career is wildlife and staged narrative photography, made with remote and near-camera techniques that put the lens implausibly close to the subject, and printed at considerable scale in high-contrast black and white. The staged American-West and Hollywood-inflected images are a more recent and heavily commercial strand alongside the wildlife.
The market is editioned photography and edition size is the whole of it: works are issued in defined runs at several sizes, and the same image in a small edition at large scale and a larger edition at small scale are quite different propositions. Certificates and edition numbering are essential and should never be separated. Large prints are usually face-mounted to acrylic, which is glossy, heavy, expensive to ship and scratches easily; condition and transit cost both need reckoning before a sale.
What a work by David Yarrow is worth
Send photographs and whatever paperwork came with it. The first question is what the work actually is — edition or unique, when, and in what condition — because everything else follows from the answer. A valuation is free, made online from the photographs you send, and it commits you to nothing. We act for sellers across the UK.
