An exploration of the best of the past, present and future of the medium, Photo London 2024 brings together over a hundred exhibitors from 44 cities across four continents, showcasing important works from across the globe from the dawn of the medium to today, from May 16 to 19, 2024.
Fair Director Kamiar Maleki comments:
“Welcome to the ninth edition of Photo London. In its first decade the Fair has built a rich heritage and now has boundless potential. Photo London continues to attract a remarkable array of talent, and to bring exhibitors and collectors from far across the world to our fabulous Somerset House location. This year we will welcome over 100 exhibitors from 44 cities worldwide.
We take pride in curating a photography fair that encompasses so much more than the traditional model: featuring a dynamic programme of exhibitions and talks, not one but two prizes to champion and support the next generation of outstanding photographers, and above all an exhibitor list that both honours the medium’s illustrious history and also pushes its boundaries.
Our long-term partnerships with the FT, Belmond, Nikon and Hahnemühle have been critically important in helping us establish Photo London as one of the key events in the international art world calendar. Their work with the artists and galleries enriches what we do. This year they are further enhanced by exhibitions with Deutsche Börse, Robert Hershkowitz and of course the 2024 Master of Photography Valérie Belin, and complemented by a talks programme curated by Thames & Hudson.
This year, we’re delighted to present a number of first-time exhibitors to the Fair — including, close to my own heart, a contingent of eight galleries from Turkey thanks to the support of TurkishBank — and to welcome again many of the world’s greatest photography galleries. We’re also thrilled to be showing exceptional vintage and classic photography in the company of contemporary practitioners who are using AI to mount ontological investigations into the medium itself and its evolving relationship to us.
At Photo London we embrace the breadth and diversity of photography, delving into new realms of creativity and innovation as we celebrate the past. Our aspiration is to be a fair that is as thought-provoking as it is beautiful, and that is engaging to all. Let’s explore the limitless possibilities together at this year’s Fair!”
