The Hasselblad Foundation (in full: Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation), was established in 1979 at the will of Victor Hasselblad, as a fully independent, not-for-profit foundation based at Götaplatsen in Gothenburg, Sweden. The main aim of the Foundation is to promote research and academic teaching in the natural sciences and photography.
History
After the death of Victor Hasselblad in August 1978 it was announced by the Swedish government that he had bequeathed part of his fortune "to establish awards similar to Nobel prizes," with the Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation "awarding prizes of around three million Swedish crowns ($700,000) once a year, or twice this sum every two years, to scientists in the natural sciences." At the time the sum corresponded to the annual Nobel prize awards for science and literature.[1]
Erna and Victor Hasselblad Photography Center
In accord with its origin in the manufacture of innovative cameras, the Foundation also conducts its own research into photography at its Hasselblad Center, which opened in 1989, promoting education in photography through research projects, seminars and lectures, and its library and archives for students and researchers. Rune Hassner was the organisation's first head 1988-94[2] and it continues to exhibit Swedish and International photography. On his initiative the Center commenced a collection with a concentration on the work of Nordic photographers, among them Sune Jonsson, Christer Strömholm, Adriana Lestido, Pal-Nils Nilsson. The Foundation also presents an annual international award in photography[3] to “a photographer recognized for major achievements”,[4] publishing monographs on each. The first prize, 100,000 Swedish Kronor and a gold
medal, was awarded in November 1980 to Lennart Nilsson The grant, 500,000 Swedish
Kronor, went to the Royal Institute of Ernst Haas, Edouard Boubat, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Robert Häusser, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Hiroshi Hamaya, William Klein, Sebastiao Salgado, Susan Meiselas, and Boris Mikhailov.[5] The Hasselblad Foundation’s research library opened in 1999, initiated with Hassner's own extensive library wihch he donated in 1998.[5]
