The Photographers’ Gallery in London has been exhibiting works by the four finalists of the “Deutsche Brse Photography Prize 2007”.
The four artists are Philippe Chancel, Anders Petersen, Fiona Tan and Walid Raad / The Atlas Group. The candidates were nominated by an international academy, a group of 75 European photography experts that were invited by the Photographers’ Gallery to propose artists for the award. Deutsche Brse has been the main sponsor of this major international photography award since 2005.
The prize, worth GBP 30,000, will be awarded on 21 March in the Photographers’ Gallery. The Deutsche Brse Photography Prize goes every year to a photographer who has made a key contribution to European contemporary photography over the past year.
Works by the four finalists can be viewed from 9 February to 9 April in the Photographers’ Gallery in London. The exhibition will then be presented in Berlin’s Altem Postfuhramt (Old Post Office) from 9 May until 8 July, and then at Neue Brse in Frankfurt/Main over September and October.
