TIM WALKER
Journey into the fantastical worlds created by internationally acclaimed fashion photographer Tim Walker. The exhibition pays tribute to Walker's distinctive contribution to image-making while also highlighting the work of his creative collaborators: set designers, stylists, makeup artists, models, and muses. At the heart of the show is a new series of photographs directly influenced by his research into the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), London.

KERTÉSZ - LARTIGUE
In the early 1960s, the Museum of Modern Art in New York devoted monographic exhibitions to two photographers: Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986) and André Kertész (1894-1985). Described by one as "the greatest amateur of the 20th century" and by the other as "the inventor of photojournalism," each has a unique aesthetic. The exhibition highlights these two personalities with parallel careers by presenting 160 photographs and numerous archival documents.

Espace Richaud, Versailles, France
 
FERGUS GREER
Chrysalis pays homage to the world's never-ending metamorphosis and all its organic (and inorganic) inhabitants. The exhibition explores the concept of mutability from a wide range of different formal, existential, and political angles. Included are portraits of the late Leigh Bowery, by Fergus Greer.

NEW WORK AT MICHAEL HOPPEN GALLERY

 
ORI GERSHT
Fields and Visions, 2022
Gersht's new photographic series, Fields and Visions, re-examines the relationship between the representation of reality in the technological era and the deceptive claim that photography represents one objective truth. Gersht develops his photographs with the aid of artificial intelligence software that fills in the missing information and reshapes the photographs. In this way, the artificial intelligence uses its acquired knowledge to create a new form of realism.
 
JOHN BULMER
The North: Vintage Cibachrome prints
We have recently taken on a wonderful series of vintage Cibachrome prints of 1960's North England, by John Bulmer. Bulmer was a pioneer of colour photography in the early 1960's working for the Sunday Times Magazine from the very first issue and into the 1970's. He contributed to Town Magazine, a magazine that became well known for photography, including work by Terrence Donovan, David Bailey and Don McCullin.
 
SARAH MOON
Dior Archive: Platinum Prints
We are pleased to offer limited edition platinum prints by Sarah Moon from her latest collaboration with Christian Dior's artistic director, Maria Grazia Chiuri.

"Sarah Moon's signature resides in her capacity to give form to unconscious movements and retrospective intuition and in her aptitude to image indescribable ambiences. For all these reasons her vision was perfect for transcribing the story told by my creative process for the Dior collections: that of a woman anchored in her epoch, drawing her strength by listening to her emotions". - Maria Grazia Chiuri
 
KRASS CLEMENT
Michael Hoppen Gallery is proud to represent Danish photographer, Krass Clement. Clement's work emerges from two traditions: The Scandinavian Melancholy and the 'flaneur' tradition from the Parisian school. His work is more concerned with capturing a state of mind than with situations, and the photographs are less documentary depictions than subjective moods; somewhere between spectator and reality.
