Join us for an evening with Michael Hoppen, renowned photography dealer, collector and gallerist. Since founding the Michael Hoppen Gallery in 1992, he has championed emerging photographers while presenting them alongside masters from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries.

In this talk, Hoppen will share insights into collecting photography: how collections evolve, how galleries shape audiences, and why supporting both new and established artists is essential. Drawing on decades of experience, he will reflect on photography’s growing significance as a collectible art form and its place in today’s cultural landscape.

This event also includes exclusive after-hours access to Jane Bown: Play Shadow, a rare opportunity to experience the exhibition in the quiet, intimate setting of the gallery at night.
