Saw the work of Swedish photographer Christer Stromholm (1918-2002) for the first time last year, at Swedish Photography. I was happy to see our favourite gallery C/O Berlin was showing a big retrospective of his in Germany for the first time. A self-declared advocate of “available light”, his grainy portraits of transsexuals are particularly lovely.
Asger Carlsen's Hester at Dittrich Schlechtriem gallery (1 Feb 16-Mar, 2013)
Stumbled upon this just walking down a street in Mitte :) Asger Carlsen born 1973 in Denmark, and now lives and works in New York. You can read a small interview with him about this series on Vice.
Lovely Camille Vivier's show, Eine Form at Galerie für Moderne Fotografie (11 Jan – 9 Mar, 2013). Got another chance to see this show, as the one I originally planned on attending in Paris, was locked the day I went. Berlin's Gallery for Modern Photography is small, but always features great works.
15 Years at the highly influential CameraWork gallery by various renowned photographers.

The latest exhibition we attended was last week, for the opening of Deutschland, by Gerry Johansson (b. 1945) at Swedish Photography gallery (Feb 16 - Mar 30, 2013). Germany via its suburban and rural landscapes. Simple, quiet images, with really clever composition.
