Phillips de Pury is bulking up its photo department by promoting from within:

Vanessa Kramer has been appointed Worldwide Head of Photographs. She will assume her new role effective immediately, overseeing both the creative and business aspects of a united global department. She also continues to be Head of Photographs, New York. Throughout her five years with Phillips de Pury, and especially during her year and a half overseeing the New York team, Vanessa’s energy and dedication have resulted in an ever-expanding profile for the department.

Louise Proud has been appointed Head of Photographs, London. In her time as a Senior Specialist, Louise’s outstanding performance and leadership abilities have helped to expand Phillips de Pury’s position as an important player in the European photographs market, and we look forward to continuing growth in the field.
