Galerie Max Hetzler Notes Thomas Struth Speaking Event, Exhibitions and Soane Award
On May 27, 2026, Galerie Max Hetzler reported that Thomas Struth will speak at the Jeu de Paume in Paris as part of the ‘Le 7 à 9 de Chanel’ series led by journalist Anaël Pigeat. Struth’s photographs appear in the group exhibitions Passants parmi les Pierres at fjk3 – Contemporary Art Space in Vienna, curated by Thomas Demand, and Civilization – Our Life in Focus at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, which includes work by approximately 100 photographers. The gallery also noted that Struth received the Soane Honors Award for Photography and that his 2011 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh is on view in the Inspiring People reinstallation at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
The Signal
The combination of a high-profile institutional speaking engagement, two European museum and gallery shows, and a named photography honor underscores Struth’s continued centrality in discussions of architecture, public space and portraiture. Collectors and curators will note the alignment of these platforms with the recent publication of Archive Matrix Assembly, which positions his later work on equal footing with the series that established his reputation. The timing suggests sustained institutional demand for Struth’s images amid broader programming focused on photography’s documentary and social registers.
