Photography Guggenheim Fellows 2013

The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation has just announced the 2013 photography fellowship recipients:

Scott Conarroe
Bruce Gilden
Sharon Harper
Michael Kolster
Deana Lawson
Deborah Luster
Christian Patterson
Gary Schneider
Mike Sinclair
Alec Soth
Valerio Spada

The complete list for the rest of the 175 Guggenheim Fellow winners across disciplines (out of 3,000 applicants) can be found at their site.

There seems to be large list of fine art photographers this time around: last year had about half the amount.  I really like Deana Lawson’s work and enjoyed seeing her show at MoMA.

The Guggenheim award is a prestigious fellowship given to “men and women who have already demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts.”
