Profil
The Michael Hoppen Gallery is wholly devoted to the photographic image as art. The gallery opened in Chelsea on October 1st 1993 and has become a formidable presence in the international photography community. The Michael Hoppen Gallery's main goal is to encourage the love, appreciation, and collecting of the photograph.
Michael, who was a photographer himself with more than twenty years experience, and a long time collector of fine photography, is ideally qualified to help, advise and encourage the appreciation of the medium in all its guises: from acquainting collectors of the different periods and styles, to understanding the differences in photographic processes and many of the other important elements that go into making, not just the taking, of the photographic image as art.
Image is more important to the gallery than pictures whose value is derived merely from the possible prestige of the photographer. All the work displayed is judged firstly on the strength of the photograph itself. The Gallery's aesthetic integrity does not however stop at the image. Each photograph is individually mounted and presented in frames whose design and craftsmanship is in every way a reflection of the quality of the image it surrounds.
Founded in November 2000, the Michael Hoppen Contemporary Gallery has become a major international photographic gallery over the past seven years. Our reputation is built on our dedicated program to encourage and emphasise the important role photography plays in contemporary art today. Michael Hoppen Contemporary Gallery is part of Michael Hoppen Gallery and occupies the 2nd floor of the gallery. We have a strong exhibition programme of both, established and emerging artists. This balance provides a unique opportunity to encourage and promote innovative and inspiring artists from Great Britain and abroad. We support established artists such as Daido Moriyama, one of Japan's leading photographers who - born in the aftermath of Hiroshima - recorded the breakdown of traditional values in post-war Japan and the rapid transformation and gritty reality of the country and its cities.
