Paul Strand: Photography
and Film for the 20th Century
Victoria & Albert Museum,
19 March-3 July
Paul Strand was one of the greatest
photographers of the 20th century,
whose images have defined the way
in which fine art and documentary
photography are understood and
practised today.
The exhibition displays around
200 objects spanning Strand’s
entire career, including his
breakthrough trials in abstraction
and candid street portraits, close-ups
of natural and machine forms, and
extended explorations from the
American Southwest to France, Italy,
Scotland, Ghana and beyond. A
significant number of additional
vintage prints from the Victoria &
Albert’s own collection are on display.

Vogue 100: A Century

Vogue 100: A Century of Style, is a

William Henry Fox Talbot
at the Science Museum/
Media Space
Until 11 September
Rare original prints by the 19th
century pioneer William Henry Fox
Talbot will be displayed in an exhibition
at the Science Museum/Media Space
in London.
In the 19th century, as the industrial
revolution boomed, Fox Talbot
revolutionised culture and
communications by inventing the
negative–positive process. This
technique formed the basis of
photography around the world for more
than 150 years and immortalised him
as ‘Father of the Photograph’.
Discover the influence Talbot’s
revolutionary technology, techniques
and practices had on his contemporary
practitioners, and see original prints
from his seminal publication The Pencil
of Nature alongside the oldest-surviving
daguerreotypes by fellow photography
pioneer Louis Daguerre.
Other participating locations across
London include the Whitechapel
Gallery, National Portrait Gallery,
Photographers’ Gallery and
Hayward Gallery.
Photo London will be held at
Somerset House, Strand, London
WC2R 1LA from 19-22 May. For more

An adult day-pass ticket costs £27,
including booking fee. Tickets for the
talks cost £12.96. For the full list of
