Notes

While photography is rarely seen at auction in South Africa, it is a genre that is being assiduously collected by individuals and major public institutions both here and abroad. Mikhael Subotzky’s photographs may be found in The Museum of Modern Art, New York as well as in other prestigious collections.
His rapid rise to international prominence has been nothing short of remarkable. He was included in New Photography 2008: Josephine Meckseper and Mikhael Subotzky, at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. His first monograph, Beaufort West, was published in the same year. He is the winner of the 2009 Oskar Barnack Award, the 2008 W. Eugene Smith Grant, and the 2008 ICP Infinity Award (Young Photographer).
