The Prix Viviane Esders honors each year the work of a professional European photographer over 60 years old, independent and engaged in a creative process.
It rewards photographers whose work over a period of forty years or more deserves to be highlighted.
Viviane Esders created the Prix Viviane Esders after more than forty years in the art market as a gallery owner, photography expert and collector.
The Prix Viviane Esders falls within the framework of programmes developed by the endowment fund created by Viviane Esders. As a continuation of a passionate, independent and committed life path, the purpose of this endowment fund is to continue the contribution of its founder to photography, to bring to life a collection of nearly 600 pieces, most of which are the result of singular encounters, and to extend the initiatives of transmission and sharing around a love of photography that Viviane Esders promotes.
This year’s Viviane Esders Prize will be presented during the Paris Photo event in November 2023.
