Fotografiska in Stockholm

Fotografiska is a photography museum in the district of Södermalm in the Swedish capital Stockholm , founded by the brothers Jan and Per Broman together with the financier Sven Hagströmer as financier. Other investors include the entrepreneurs Göran Bennich, Joakim Hjerpe and Per Brilioth and the Berlin investor, collector and photo artist Yoram Roth. The privately financed museum does not receive any state funding, but benefits from a subsidized rent from the Stockholm Municipal Port Authority ( Stockholms Hamn AB ).

The building is located directly on the water ( Stockholms ström ) in the former large customs house ( Stora Tullhuset ), which was built in the Art Nouveau style from 1906 to 1910 according to plans by Ferdinand Boberg and renovated by the Stockholm port administration from 2007 to 2010 for around 250 million crowns . The exhibition area is 2500 m², the building complex has a total area of ​​5500 m². The museum was opened on May 20, 2010 by the American photographer Annie Leibovitz and opened to visitors a day later. According to Dagens Nyheter , the media breakthrough came with the Robert Maplethorpe retrospective in 2011. Unlike the previous Annie Leibovitz exhibition, which was loaned from the Brooklyn Museum , it was planned by the then Fotografiska curator Michelle Marie Roy. In 2006 Jan and Per Broman founded a photo fair ( Fotomässan ) on the Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö . In 2008 they organized a pop-up exhibition with David LaChapelle on the exhibition grounds (Factory) in Nacka . In 2014, the Expressen complained that “original prints are not always shown” and that the exhibition creates the impression that it is “a best-of book [...] that was cut apart and hung on the wall without any particular considerations or topics. "

The Büder Broman took legal action against the decision that the Moderna Museet and the National Museum in Stockholm had been granting free entry since 2016, since otherwise they would never have founded their museum. In 2017 it became known that the growth in visitor numbers to the non-state museum had not suffered under the so-called free entry reform (“fri entré reforms”), according to SVT . The museum has been criticized by Swedish photographers for its contractual conditions in the context of exhibitions. In August 2017, the British Journal of Photography and Swedish television raised the question in the cultural news to what extent Fotografiska was a classic museum, since it had neither its own collection nor research and was profit-oriented. In addition, it does not belong to the Association of Swedish Museums ( Riksförbundet Sveriges museer ) and the ICOM network. Jan Broman defended the concept and explained: “That is the business idea. This is a business, Fotografiska is not a monument to us. […] The view that it would be ugly to show pictures without a contribution is not so distorted. Art is basically super commercial. ”The Fotografiska claims to have over half a million visitors a year.
