Selections from the Ian Parry Scholarship at Auction

Phillips partners with the Ian Parry Scholarship to present works that embody the human essence of photojournalism.

Phillips is honored to be working with the Ian Parry Scholarship in presenting a selection of 22 powerful works from around the world as a part of the Photographs sale in London on 23 November. Ian Parry was a photojournalist who tragically died while covering the Romanian Revolution in 1989 when he was just 24 years old. This award has been encouraging and supporting young photojournalists in memory of Ian Parry for three decades. The works on offer give a breadth of selection for collectors, from artists well-known to auction like Edward Burtynsky and Richard Mosse, to an array of impressive auction debuts including Nanna Heitmann and Lynsey Addario. A preview exhibition of these works will open to the public from 17 to 23 November at 30 Berkeley Square. In addition, Artsy will also host a benefit auction in partnership with the Ian Parry Scholarship on 11 November. Here, we highlight seven photographers from the sale.
