We are delighted to announce that photographer Nadav Kander has been awarded a grant by the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. This grant will contribute to Kander’s ongoing creative practice, giving him renewed freedom to explore and expand his vision. We congratulate Nadav on this well-deserved honor and eagerly anticipate the unique work that this support will make possible.

Nadav Kander has made some of the most beautiful and celebrated photographs of recent times. From presidents and film stars to the banks of China’s great Yangtze river and the stark landscapes of Chernobyl; from portraits of the unknown and studies of the human form, to the Arctic Circle and the shores of the Thames estuary, Kander’s path has been epic yet intimate. A master picture maker and a tireless experimenter, he searches for the unexpected resonance in people and places, those moments when something profound is revealed to the eye and the camera.

FEP is proud to produce the exhibition “Nadav Kander: The Edge of Things”, the first major survey of Kander’s work. Curated by David Campany, the exhibition begins its international tour at FOAM Amsterdam in September 2026.

Pollock-Krasner Foundation

Lee Krasner was committed to supporting the work of the generations of artists who would come after her, and she established the Pollock-Krasner Foundation to provide vital funding for emerging, mid-career, and established artists. To date, the Foundation has awarded over 5,200 grants to professional artists in 80 countries.

BURTYNSKY: EXTRACTION/ABSTRACTION Makes Asian Debut at Seoul Museum of History

December 13, 2025 – March 2, 2026, Seoul Museum of History South Korea

Seoul Museum of History—renowned for charting the city’s evolution from its origins to the present—will host the first large-scale exhibition of Edward Burtynsky’s works in Seoul. Bringing together local memory and global scale, BURTYNSKY: Extraction/Abstraction invites visitors to reflect on humanity’s profound impact on the planet and the resilience of cities.

Over the past decade, the museum has deepened its engagement with environmental challenges and crisis narratives through special programs such as the special exhibition Unprecedented Flood and the 11th European Film Festival (themed Stories for Challenging Times). This exhibition builds on this commitment, presenting four decades of Burtynsky’s practice that vividly documents industrial landscapes, resource extraction, and the intricate systems that sustain—and strain—modern life.

This exhibition has been organized by Seoul Museum of History in association with Saatchi Gallery and the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography.

“Nadav Kander: The Edge of Things” is the first major survey of Kander’s contemplative, ethereal, and iconic work spanning four decades. Curated by David Campany, the exhibition begins its international tour at FOAM Amsterdam in September 2026.

In the last four years, “Thomas Demand: The Stutter of History” was hosted by the following five major institutions, each offering a new frame for Demand’s investigation into the intersections of history, images, and built forms:

– UCCA Edge, Shanghai, China — July 8 – September 4, 2022

– Jeu de Paume, Paris, France — February 14 – May 28, 2023

– The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel — August 9, 2023 – March 9, 2024

– The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, USA — June 30 – September 15, 2024

– Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, Taiwan — January 18 – May 11, 2025

Following this very successful tour, the exhibition could be available for a concluding venue.

“The High Life: Contemporary Photography and the Birds”, curated by William A. Ewing and Danaé Panchaud, recently closed at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota. Featuring 70 works by 50 photographers, the exhibition reveals how avian imagery transcends genres: from dedicated wildlife specialists to conceptualists and fashion visionaries. Together, these perspectives illustrates the enduring role of birds in contemporary visual culture.

We are pleased to report a very successful run of Civilization: The Way We Live Now at the Kunsthalle München, with a final tally of 110,000 visitors. As with each venue, the show evolved in Munich with the addition of 25 new works by 17 photographers. The next stop is the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich, where the exhibition will open in March 2026. Since 2018, Civilization has been shown in South Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, Britain, Taiwan, and Germany. Having produced the exhibition from Switzerland, we are especially proud to bring it “home” for its 10th venue! Stay tuned!

We are proud to present Anastasia Samoylova: Adaptation, the first major survey of contemporary American photographer Anastasia Samoylova, opening tomorrow at Saatchi Gallery, London. Curated by Taous Dahmani, this exhibition includes works from five of Samoylova’s most significant series: Floridas, FloodZone, Landscape Sublime, Image Cities, and Breakfasts. Last month, the artist opened an exhibition at the Met, which pairs her work with images of Florida by Walker Evans. A recent New York Times article about the Met show mentions her London exhibition! Read the article here: New York Times. We are thrilled to contribute to the impressive momentum around Samoylova’s work with our exhibition at Saatchi Gallery. Do not miss it!

The Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography and Saatchi Gallery are proud to present ANASTASIA SAMOYLOVA: ADAPTATION, the first major survey of contemporary American photographer Anastasia Samoylova. Curated by Taous Dahmani, this exhibition will present works from five of Samoylova’s most significant series: ‘Landscape Sublime’, ‘Image Cities’, ‘FloodZone’, ‘Floridas’, and ‘Breakfasts’. The exhibition features compelling video work previously unseen in the UK.

In ADAPTATION, Samoylova directs her frank and curious gaze at evidence of the environment adapting to human intervention and, correspondingly, at our social and political resistance to respond to a rapidly changing planet. Her subjects – often pastel-hued, doused in refracting light and darkened by impenetrable shadow – speak to this push and pull. Viewers are lured to take a closer look; subtly challenged to consider the ways in which we are encroaching on the environment and alerted to the danger of denial.

Do you want to know more about Samoylova’s work? The Observer has just released an interview of the artist! Click here to read it!

Only one week left to visit Urban Chronicles in Seoul! The exhibition includes many of the greats: William Eggleston, Saul Leiter, Vivian Maier, Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore, along with two talented artists of a younger generation, Daniel Arnold and Anastasia Samoylova. Discover nearly 70 prints, which offer an immersive journey through American color photography, revealing the myriad stories that animate the streets immortalised by renowned artists. Urban Chronicles: American Color Photography will close its doors on July 28, 2024. If you are in Seoul, do not miss it!

Thomas Demand: The Stutter of History is opening this Sunday, June 30, at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

At first, the images Thomas Demand creates seem to depict the real world. A closer look, however, reveals that they are actually photographs of temporary sculptural re-creations. The artist often selects his source imagery from the news media, and he re-creates those images as life-size paper models. Then he photographs them and prints them at a monumental scale. Afterward, he destroys his models, leaving behind only their ghostly photographic doubles.

The internationally touring exhibition Thomas Demand: The Stutter of History is a landmark retrospective of the artist’s work, and the MFAH is the only venue in the U.S.

“Civilization: The Way We Live Now” is on view at the Jut Art Museum, Taipei since March and will be closing its doors on June 30! Only one week left to discover this exhibition that offers an unprecedented look at humankind’s rapidly mutating collective life across the globe through the eyes of many of the world’s finest photographers. If you are in Taipei, don’t miss it! 

“Every summer, in the heart of the Umbrian countryside, a diverse group of professionals meet to discuss “the state of the art” of photography. Twelve international guests (never the same) are invited to take part in the visionary Todi Circle project, created in 2012 by William A. Ewing and Mario Santoro-Woith. During an immersive 5-day experience, the participants punctuate their time between roundtable discussions, conversations and informal sharing moments.

From June 7 to September 29, 2024 in Vichy, France, Nadav Kander presents “The Edge of Things”, an immersive exhibition of his work, combining installations, films and photographs, some of which have never been seen before. A master picture maker and a tireless experimenter, Kander searches for the unexpected resonance in people and places, those moments when something profound is revealed to the eye and the camera.

The photographer, who has rarely looked back, is also currently working on a major exhibition with the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography and with curator David Campany, sifting through four decades’ of constant image making. Cutting across genres and projects, the exhibition will draw out the hidden threads that connect all his work: the fragility of human existence, the passing of time, the grain of the everyday and the hope of something transcendent.

The Jut Art Museum, Taipei will host two sections of “Civilization: The Way We Live Now” at its satellite venue “Uncanny” from May 18 to June 30, 2024.

For the first time, the museum extends its exhibition to the space “Uncanny” at NOKE, with eight themes fully unfolding in the two exhibition venues. While the main venue features six themes, the satellite venue accommodates “ESCAPE” and “ALONE TOGETHER”, two themes that explore the collective state of mind of humankind in the global village.

After touring in major museums across Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy and the UK, “Civilization” will be on view in Taiwan until June 30. The exhibition features the work of contemporary photographers tracking the visual threads of humankind’s ever-changing, extraordinarily complex life across the globe.

“Flora Imaginaria” will be closing this Sunday, April 28 at the Society of the Four Arts, Palm Beach, FL. 

Flowers have been a source of inspiration for photographers since the medium’s inception. Today, flower photography remains in full bloom as contemporary photographers continue the storied tradition of depicting floral motifs in novel ways. Flora Imaginaria features images shot over the last 30 years and is an ode to this historically important photographic subject. It explores the aesthetic and decorative qualities of flowers and their rich cultural history as symbols and motifs through many genres of photography, including still lifes, botanical studies, portraits, studies of the body, street photography, and surrealist collages.

Featured artists include Pedro Almodóvar, Valérie Belin, Daniel Gordon, Abelardo Morell, Vik Muniz, Viviane Sassen, and Martin Schoeller, along with a selection of emerging artists.

Curated by William A. Ewing and Danaé Panchaud.

We are delighted to announce that James Balog: Photographs from the Anthropocene will open this Saturday, September 16 at the Museum of Photographic Arts / San Diego Museum of Art, in California. The exhibition presents photographs that describe both the ancient cyclical patterns of the earth’s life forms and the impact of human activity on those forms and cycles. For four decades, Balog has studied ancient cultural assumptions about the relationship between humans and the rest of nature. Through innovative imagery, his projects interpret significant aspects of what has changed, what has survived, and what changes are projected for the future. His photographs reveal nature’s dazzling beauty as well as its capacity for destruction.

Thomas Demand: The Stutter of History is now on view at the Israel Museum of Jerusalem. The exhibition presents a career-wide survey of his work, the artist having spent almost three decades exploring the intersections of history, images, and architectural forms. In his large-scale photographic objects, history presents itself as banal, gnawingly disturbing facsimiles of places and episodes that we cannot quite identify. Demand has also conceived the design for the exhibition, as an integral part of his approach to artistic production. With his architectural use of wallpapers and temporary structures, he creates an immersive environment for the viewer in which image and world collide.

Civilization: The Way We Live Now is on view at Saatchi Gallery, London since June and will be closing soon! Only two weeks left to discover the complexity of contemporary civilization through photography, ranging from the ordinary to the extraordinary, from our collective failings to our greatest collective achievements.

Co-organized by the FEP, this unique event is a highly unusual meeting of minds, held to reflect upon the present state and future possibilities of the medium of photography. The 10th edition was extensively enriching and presage the best for the 10 years to come!

After three months, our show Beyond Fashion at the IPFO in Switzerland closed successfully last week.

Last week, Le Monde dedicated a full page to our exhibition Thomas Demand: The Stutter of History, currently on view at Jeu de Paume, Paris. The article by journalist Claire Guillot pays great tribute to the uniqueness of the German artist’s photographic work, insisting on the “spectacular scenography” of the exhibition, which brings together large prints and impressive wallpapers. The article (in French) can be accessed here.

After a year-long break due to COVID, our exhibition “Beyond Fashion” is back on tour this summer! It successfully opened one month ago at ALT.1, Hyundai Seoul, Korea, on June 17. With an innovative and interactive scenography, the exhibition has already welcomed thousands of visitors and is visible until September 25.

Curated by Nathalie Herschdorfer, the exhibition brings together the works of today’s most acclaimed fashion photographers as well as the newest generation who have looked anew at the potential of fashion photography and created an imagery that goes far beyond fashion.

Our exhibition “William Wegman: Being Human” successfully made its return home after ending its journey with a last stop in Korea at the Seoul Arts Center from September to December 2021. The exhibition was presented for the first time at Les Rencontres d’Arles in France in 2018 before travelling to five more venues in Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and Netherlands.

From March to June this year, our exhibition Beyond Fashion was shown at Xie Zilong Photography Museum in Changsha, China. This latest venue was a major success, greeting more than 600,000 visitors, who had the chance to admire the work of the most acclaimed fashion photographers today, such as Nick Knight, Paolo Roversi, Peter Lindbergh, Miles Aldridge and Ellen von Unwerth, among others.

The major publication dedicated to James Balog is selected as one of the best photographic books of the year by The Times (London). The Human Element: A Time Capsule from the Anthropocene, published by Rizzoli, presents four decades of Balog’s research and photography. The illustrated oversized 400 page catalogue comprises a major text by curator Anne Tucker.

“The Year’s Best Photo Books. Whether it’s power stations pumping out smoke or a blazing forest, the environmental photographer James Balog offers a harrowing look into the impact humans have on our planet.  With its hurricane-crumpled homes, tsunami-swallowed freighters and even playful doodles of tyre tracks on salt flats, this book can easily make a reader feel small. Yet it also inspires with its reverence and wonder, from the slow ache of ancient woodland and its gnarled sculptures, to the smoke-blackened faces of 
firefights up close.” —THE TIMES (LONDON)

Following is a link to an interesting review on Civilization by John Hurrell, sent along from New Zealand:

http://eyecontactsite.com/2020/06/enthralling-global-photography

“Over the last 100 years, fashion photography forged an image of alluring beauty which, through time, encouraged a celebration of stereotypical ideals of beauty. These may be far from realistic but are always desirable. The work of younger fashion photographers included in this exhibition reveals how the myth is being challenged, pointing the way to a different future vision.” – Nathalie Herschdorfer, Curator

A recent review following the opening of FEP’s “Civilization: The Way We Live Now” at Australia’s National Gallery of Victoria notes: “A hallmark of a memorable exhibition is that it seduces the viewer through its sheer beauty, while at the same time making us question the reality that we inhabit.” Read more here at The Conversation’s website.
