American photographer Robert Adams has been chosen as the 29th winner of the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography.Robert was presented with his award at Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco yesterday. He was awarded Sek 500,000 (approximately £40,000) and an exhibition of his work will open at the Hasselblad Center, Göteborg Art Museum on 6November 2009.
“Robert Adams is one of the most important and influential photographers of the last forty years,” said the foundation. “During that time he has worked almost exclusively in the American West, and, as photography has altered and fragmented, he has refined and reaffirmed its inherent language, adapting the legacies of nineteenth century and modernist photography to his own very singular purpose.
Precise and undramatic, Adams’ accumulative vision of the West now stands as a formidable document, reflecting broader, global concerns about the environment, while consistently recognising signs of human aspiration and elements of hope across a particular changing landscape.”
