In the vibrant atmosphere of the world's premier art fairs, Philipp Keel observed the visitors and spontaneously took their photographs: gallerists, curators, art lovers and collectors, artists and art dealers. The result is a fascinating portrait of the art world with the individuals becoming the performers. The choice of protagonists in People at Art is truly intuitive. The pictures unfold an honest and respectful exchange between the artist and the art enthusiasts, as the collection distinctively captures the passion and atmosphere of the art market at its peak.

Philipp Keel is an artist, author, publisher of Diogenes, and a filmmaker. He studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston and the Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen in Munich, before moving to California and working in various artistic disciplines. His photographs, paintings, drawings and prints have since been shown in numerous international exhibitions, most recently at Bildhalle Zürich, and are present in leading collections. He became known for his bestselling series All About Me and All About Us (Random House, 1998), for Color (Steidl, 2003) and the series Simple Diary (Taschen). In 2014 Keel's project State of Mind (Nieves), featuring drawings, watercolors and silkscreens, was shown at Villa Flor in S-chanf.

Philipp Keel lives in Zurich.
