Somerset House<\/em><\/p>\n

Billed as a \u2018new and significant addition to London\u2019s cultural calendar\u2019, Photo London will take place at Somerset House from 21-24 May 2015.<\/p>\n

Around 60 galleries from around the world are expected to exhibit at Somerset House where the public will be able to buy work on show.<\/p>\n

\u2018Photo London is a response, in part, to a growing international market for both contemporary and vintage photography and, in part, to a burgeoning appetite for the medium in London,\u2019 said Somerset House in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u2018Recent exhibitions of contemporary and 20th century photography at Somerset House gathered notable audiences for subject matter as varied as high fashion and social documentary.\u2019<\/p>\n

More than 100,00 people visited a Somerset House retrospective by fashion photographer Tim Walker, while Cartier-Bresson: A Question of Colour pulled in almost 90,000 visitors.<\/p>\n

Organisers say that, while London enjoys a reputation as an important hub of the international art market, \u2018no fair exists to nurture the specific and growing interest in photography\u2019.<\/p>\n

They add: \u2018Photo London will address this lack, both through the fair itself and through an ongoing series of initiatives, aimed at collectors, curators, gallerists and the general public.\u2019<\/p>\n

Entry prices have yet to be decided, but Amateur Photographer<\/em> understands that some shows will be free.<\/p>\n

Work on display will include rare images plucked from the photography collection at the V&A museum, alongside emerging talent.<\/p>\n

Described as a\u00a0\u2018commercial art fair\u2019,\u00a0Photo London\u00a0will address the \u2018full modern scope of the medium, from rarities by early pioneers in photography, to masterpieces of contemporary art and\u2026 street-style blogs\u2019.<\/p>\n

Photo London is due to include work resulting from collaborations with photo agency Magnum, and the Aperture Foundation.<\/p>\n

A photography book fair will take place across the River Thames at Tate Modern, to coincide with the event.<\/p>\n

Photo London is being organised by Candlestar, a cultural production company that is behind the Prix Pictet photo awards and exhibition.
