The Photographer’s Gallery is making the most of lockdown restrictions with a newly relaunched and expanded Print Sales Gallery, their online platform that gives full access to represented artists and their works.

Part exhibition, learning resource and online catalogue, the section invites viewers to shop exclusive editions from some of the world’s leading photographers, explore full folios of work by name, series or category and read up on famous names via a comprehensive archive of interviews, panel discussions and blog posts. The exclusive editions offer affordable works donated by the gallery’s artists as a means of supporting its public program and includes Edward Burtynsky, Alex Prager, Susan Meiselas, Karen Knorr and Richard Mosse, among others.

As part of the new launch, TPG has announced the latest addition to its online portfolio as US photographer Sage Sohier. Having grown up surrounded by dogs and other furry companions, animals have since taken centre stage throughout much of her work, at times accompanied by humans and at others not. Her selected series, The Animals (2019), which is viewable via TPG’s Online Gallery, exemplifies her practice and affection for living things.

As the artist herself notes, “There is more spontaneity, less self-consciousness, and more chaos when humans and other animals coexist. Love is unconditional, grief is uncomplicated though deeply felt, and life is richer, more vivid, more comical.”
