Description

Fotografiska:

Anything but an ordinary museum, in 2010 Fotografiska was founded in Stockholm and in late 2019 opened its newest outpost in a treasured, historic landmark building in NYC's Flatiron District.

The iconic NYC and Stockholm locations are complemented by expansion in Tallinn, and a forthcoming Berlin Museum set to open in 2022.

Fotografiska's goals are simple:

to inspire a more conscious world through the power of photography, to bring people together, raise awareness and create positive change.

The Museum showcases the greatest photographers, whether they are emerging artists or already established internationally.

Fotografiska | New York:

Located at 281 Park Avenue South, the six-floor, 45,000 sq ft (about half the area of a Manhattan city block).

the historic landmark is home to an unexpected mix of world-class art, vibrant cultural programming, and exceptional dining experiences. The restaurant, Verōnika, and cocktail lounge, V Bar, was designed by Roman and Williams.

At Fotografiska, there are no permanent collections and none of the work is for sale.

Fotografiska can respond quickly to ever-changing societal issues, movements, and themes, which is reflected in the immersive, representative, and relevant exhibitions.

To date, the New York location has featured work from Ellen von Unwerth, Tawny Chatmon, Helene Schmitz, Adi Nes, and Anastasia Taylor-Lind in partnership with TIME Magazine, Andres Serrano, and others.
