"After travelling across the world, our exhibitions are finally arriving at 281 Park Avenue South. Soon to be ready for our upcoming opening."
Johan Vikner
Co-Director of Exhibitions
"With the scaffolding coming down, we’re excited to reveal the facade of 281 Park Avenue South, and soon open the doors of Fotografiska New York.”
Geoffrey Newman
General Partner
"Test printing is an important part of every photographic process, whether it’s a framed print or a vinyl wallpaper. This is especially true for an image that's 14 feet long.”
Johan Vikner
Co-Director of Exhibitions
"Exhibitions that travel all over the world require a lot of logistical planning…and good packaging."
Johan Vikner
Co-Director of Exhibitions
"Many people aid in bringing an exhibition to life. For example, if you want to paint the walls in gold, share your thoughts with your team and have faith in the painter who will paint the walls gold! It's always rewarding to see exhibition concepts come to life outside of a computer screen through a collaborative effort. You can't develop an exhibition on your own."
Grace Noh
Exhibition Coordinator
"Magazine covers are an important part of many photographers' oeuvres. Especially for a fashion photographer like Ellen von Unwerth, who has had a successful career of over 30 years."
Johan Vikner
Co-Director of Exhibitions
"There are many steps to conceptualizing exhibitions, one of which is to create a rendering of what the exhibition would look like. Where should the title wall be placed? What color should the walls be, but more importantly, why? This is where I work together with the exhibition designers to explore the concept and stir ideas."
Grace Noh
Exhibition Coordinator
“I think good dreaming is what leads to good photographs.”

Sting sang the Police tune “Invisible Sun,” joking that Sager must’ve ripped off the name.
"We’re working very carefully with wall colors to create unique atmospheres and experiences that make you feel like you've stepped into the artist’s work and world."
Johan Vikner
Co-Director of Exhibitions
"3D-models allow us to play around with works in the exhibitions to a correct scale–something which is very useful when working with large sized works."
Johan Vikner
Co-Director of Exhibitions
"I begin very low tech with my exhibition process. Post-its let me play around with the space and arrangements in a very tangible way. Once I commit to something I like, I'll then transition to the next stage of an exhibition."
Daniel Sanchez Torres
Exhibitions Coordinator
"I'm a very tactile and visual person. I play around with cut-up thumbnails of the exhibition images to start imagining the different array of images and stories I can tell."
Daniel Sanchez Torres
Exhibitions Coordinator

Excited for our opening!
Watch this video showing behind the scenes of the Jacob & Esau photograph. Some pictures I photograph in medium format while others I shoot with a large format camera. Since I still use film and am unable to touch-up the images in photoshop after they’ve been captured on film, every detail on the set is crucial. The images are blown-up to a very large size for exhibits, so viewers can even see the dust on shoes. At first, the people being photographed didn’t pass the bowl of food from one side of the table to the other in a convincing manner. Consequently, I worked with them for nearly two hours on this scene. Not only did those being photographed think I was crazy, but so thought the rest of my film crew! 📸 adi.nes.official
