To mark the opening of the V&A Photography Centre, the V&A has commissioned internationally renowned German photographer Thomas Ruff to create a new body of work. Known for taking a critical and conceptual approach to photography, Ruff’s new series digitally reinterprets Linnaeus Tripe’s 1850s paper negatives of India and Burma from the V&A’s collection. 
 
To celebrate this commission we created two exclusive, limited edition prints of works from the series. We are now delighted to introduce a further two prints. Signed and numbered in an edition of 50 this is a unique opportunity to own work by a present-day master.  
 
Thomas Ruff is one of the most exciting names in fine art photography. He has been the subject of multiple solo exhibitions including a critically acclaimed show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 2017.  His work is held in museum collections worldwide including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Tate.
