The Hasselblad Foundation is pleased to announce British photographer Paul Graham as the recipient of the 2012 Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography for SEK 1,000,000 (approximately GBP 95,000, USD 150,000), The award ceremony will take place in London on March 8, 2012.

The Foundation’s citation regarding the decision to award the 2012 prize to Paul Graham is as follows:
Paul Graham is one of the most brilliant photographers of his generation. During the course of his nearly 40-year career, he has presented an extremely focused body of work, at once perfectly coherent and never monotonous. In images both sensitive and subtly political, he makes tangible the insignificant traces of ″the spirit of the times″ we do not normally see. With his keen awareness of the photographic medium, he has constantly developed innovative forms of working with all aspects of photography. This makes him a profound force for renewal of the deep photographic tradition of engagement with the world.

This year’s award committee, which submitted its proposal to the Foundation’s board of directors, consisted of:
Clément Chéroux (chair), Photography Historian, Curator Department of Photography, Centre Pompidou, Paris, France
Ekaterina Degot, Art Historian, Art Critic and Curator, Moscow, Russia
Ute Eskildsen, Professor, Head of the Department of Photography and Vice-Director, Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany
Gao Shiming, Curator, School of Intermedia Art, China Art Academy, Hangzhou, PR China
Roberta Valtorta, Scientific Director, Museo di Fotografia Contemporanea, Milan, Italy
