Hamiltons participated in Photo London 2018, for the third year, exhibiting a selection of works by gallery artists including Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, Herb Ritts, Sir Don McCullin, Paolo Roversi, Nobuyoshi Araki and Erwin Olaf.
A particular highlight earlier this year was Daido Moriyama, one of the few living modern masters of photography from Japan. Not only did Hamiltons have an exciting Moriyama installation on the stand at the fair, but the gallery also presented the artist for the Photo London Pavilion Commission.
Our gallery exhibition 'Daido Moriyama: SCENE' was open at the same time to coincide with the fair, and continued through summer until 17 August 2018.
Part of Japan’s Provoke Movement in the 1960s, Moriyama has sought to capture Japan’s societal upheavals and cultural shifts from the latter part of the 20th Century through today. Throughout his career, Moriyama has repeatedly returned to the streets of the city’s enigmatic Shinjuku district as a subject for his work.
