Additionally, artist Sage Sohier and her 2019 series The Animals which documents people and their animal companions in the 1970’s.
Customers are able to browse artist overviews and online exhibitions in addition to the newly added buy-now options and Advice & Inspiration section featuring artist interviews and tips for collecting photography from the Gallery’s leading experts and much more. The Gallery’s Exclusive Editions scheme offers customers affordable artworks by leading contemporary photographers and artists, created exclusively and donated by artists.
All profits from the Print Sales Gallery are reinvested back into The Photographer’s Gallery’s ongoing public programme, now a crucial revenue due to the current conditions of COVID-19.
