When it launched in Stockholm in 2010, Fotografiska seemed an ambitious
project—yet 13 years on those ambitions have been fulfilled … and then some.
The stated aim of brothers Jan and Per Broman (sons of a photographer) was
to create a museum for the modern world through the medium of photography,
thus inspiring a “more conscious” world. They try to achieve this through a
series of dynamic rotating exhibitions, spanning various photographic genres
and different locations around the world. From the original in Sweden, other
sites have been added—Tallinn, Estonia, and New York, so far, with Berlin,
Miami, and Shanghai to follow this year. More than 170 photographers have
featured in Fotografiska exhibitions since it was founded but just one is
center of attention at the latest show in New York—the British snapper of
the great and the good, Terry O’Neill. “Stars,” which runs until September
16, is a retrospective of a career that spanned six decades during which the
photographer captured the most famous celebrities in the world—from sports
personalities and musicians to models and films stars. In the largest solo
exhibition of his works in the U.S., modern icons such as David Beckham and
Tom Cruise appear alongside figures from a golden age of Hollywood, long
past, such as Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn—and being in the Big
Apple, Frank Sinatra, of course. It is housed in a landmark Manhattan building
on Park Avenue South—itself worthy of capturing on film—the late-19thcentury
Church Missions House. Built in a Renaissance-Revival style, it also
houses the stylish restaurant Verōnika—another statement of an ambitious
team behind the project as they cater for all the senses. fotografiska.com
