Photo London in Five Acts

Eight months after the previous iteration, which was postponed till the fall due to the pandemic, the art fair Photo London returns to Somerset House from May 12 to 15. Bringing together 106 exhibitors from 18 countries, the fair picks up its pre-Covid momentum. The online version, in its 3rd edition, is here to stay, however, and will extend the fair until May 29. True to itself, Photo London covers the entire history of the photography, from the 1850s through the present, with an emphasis on eclecticism, from reportage to fashion to conceptual photography.
