CHRISTER STRÖMHOLM
Christer Strömholm, 1918-2002. After studying languages and art throughout Europe, he returned to Sweden at the end of the 1930s to attend to learn for Otte Sköld and Isaac Grünewald. But it was in Paris in the 50s that he discovered the large-format camera and realised that the photographic image offers the sort of possibilities for expression that he has wished for and sought. As late as 1986, with the retrospective exhibition "9 seconds of my life" at Moderna Museet, he got his big break. 1993 the Swedish government made him professor of photography and in 1997 he received the Hasselblad Award.
