Photo London

Galerie Polka is pleased to present a solo show of works by Joel Meyerowitz at Photo London 2026. This special presentation brings together a selection of photographic prints that highlight Meyerowitz’s singular vision and his role in the evolution of contemporary color photography.

A pioneer of street photography and one of the earliest advocates for color as a serious artistic medium, Meyerowitz has spent decades capturing the subtle poetry of everyday life. From the vibrant energy of urban scenes to the quiet luminosity of coastal landscapes, his images reveal a deep sensitivity to light, time, and human presence.

For the occasion of Photo London, Galerie Polka has curated a selection of prints from different series that reflect the breadth and coherence of his work. Each photograph invites viewers into a moment suspended between spontaneity and contemplation, where color becomes both subject and language.

This presentation is an opportunity to rediscover the enduring relevance of Meyerowitz’s oeuvre and to engage with works that have profoundly shaped the visual culture of our time.
