Dr Christian Thompson AO has been announced the winner of the 2020 Bowness Photography Prize at the Monash Gallery of Art. Rule of Three, 2020 was selected by this year's judges, who were responsible for awarding the $30,000 prize to one of 60 exhibiting finalists.
This outstanding achievement sees a major work by Dr Christian Thompson AO acquired by Monash Gallery of Art's collection, embedding Rule of Three into a public collection which is both revered and respected for its focus on Australian photography and the masterworks of Australia's leading photographers.
For 15 years, the William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize has emerged as an important annual survey of contemporary photographic practice in Australia and is one of the most prestigious prizes in Australia.
Thompson's success continues with his current international exhibition showing at The Australian Embassy in Berlin. Strange Flower exhibits key works from Thompson's career and includes Rule of Three (2020).
We would like to extend our congratulations to Dr Christian Thompson AO for this outstanding achievement.
