RICHARD MOSSE (BORN 1980) Men of Good Fortune, 2011
RETURNING TO SOMERSET HOUSE for its eighth edition, Photo London will bring together over 110 of the world’s leading photography dealers and galleries to celebrate pioneering photographers as well as emerging artists.
The fair’s acclaimed Discovery section, which showcases photographs by emerging talent and galleries established less than seven years ago, will be curated by Tim Clark, the Editor of 1000 Words magazine. The 2023 Public Programme will include the exhibition Fotografía Maroma, a ‘living gallery’ that champions the work of prominent Mexican photographers. Two special exhibitions will celebrate works by British artists: one will present twenty-four recent photographs by the 2023 Master of Photography, Martin Parr; the second, Writing her own Script, curated by the Centre for British Photography, London, will spotlight British women photographers. A varied Talks Programme, curated by William A. Ewing, the former Director of Exhibitions at the International Center of Photography, New York, will run throughout the week.
This year’s fair presents several galleries supporting photographers from Iran, and displays throughout demonstrate the rising significance of photography in Africa. Themes including Civil Rights and anti-racist movements, gender identity and LGBTQIA+ rights as well as landscape and the environment will feature prominently.
Elsewhere in London, concurrent satellite events help reinforce Photo London as the most important fixture in the city’s photography calendar: The Photographers’ Gallery will announce the winner of the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize during the run of the fair; the photography festival Peckham 24 will present a diverse programme of events and exhibitions in south-east London; the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit has returned to the Natural History Museum; and numerous commercial galleries around the city will mount photo-centric exhibitions.

THIS MONTH New York’s Park Armory welcomes back TEFAF for its eighth edition in the city. The fair’s ninety-one participating galleries – thirteen of whom are first time exhibitors – will bring together remarkable objects and works of art that span 7,000 years of art history. The impressive surroundings will play host to a variety of antiques, contemporary painting, sculpture, modern design and jewellery. Although the focus of TEFAF NY leans more towards postwar and Contemporary art than its sister fair in Maastricht, both fairs prioritise excellence and true connoisseurship, and the top-quality works of art on offer will appeal to private and institutional collectors alike. The 2023 edition will feature a varied talks programme with industry experts; specialised tours will run throughout the week.
