Paul Graham
Paul Graham was among the first photographic artists to unite contemporary color practice with the "documentary" genre at the beginning of the 1980s. Innovative and influential over the course of four decades, Graham’s photographs have garnered recognition for their development of fresh ways of visualising the world, yet always retaining a deep commitment to working directly with life.
Paul Graham (b. 1956, England) lives and works in New York. In 2012, he was awarded the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography, the most prestigious international award for photography. Graham’s work has been the subject of more than eighty solo exhibitions in internationally renowned institutions including the Whitechapel Gallery, London; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and Tate Gallery, London.
