The Hasselblad Foundation has announced that Colombian artist Oscar Muñoz is the recipient of the 2018 Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography for the sum of SEK 1,000,000 (approx. USD 125,000). “I keep stumbling over the same feelings of disbelief and joy while thinking that my work will join that of the distinguished artists who have received the Hasselblad Award before,” says Oscar Muñoz.” I also feel gratitude for the honour that is granted to me, which encourages me to keep working with intensity and passion.” The award ceremony will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden on October 8, 2018. A symposium will be held on October 9, followed by the opening of an exhibition of Oscar Muñoz’s work at the Hasselblad Center, and the release of a new book about the artist, published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König.
