Alex Prager is an American photographer and filmmaker. Her elaborately staged images aim to capture some of the surreal, expressing something that exists between fiction and reality, referencing Hollywood cinema, experimental films, pop culture and street photography.
Prager has had numerous international solo shows organised by her gallery representative, Lehmann Maupin. Her work has been exhibited in museums such as Fotografiska, Stockholm, Sweden, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA, Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow, Russia and The Photographers’ Gallery, London, United Kingdom.
She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the FOAM Paul Huf Award (2012), The Vevey International Photography Award (2009), and the London Photographic Award (2006). Her editorial work has also been featured in several prominent publications, including Vogue and New York Magazine.
In 2021, Art of Wishes acquired 'Eva' (2009) for auction, courtesy of David and Sayoko Teitelbaum. Prager, along with Lehmann Maupin, also donated an edition of 'Ian (After Philip Lorca diCorcia)' (2016) to Art of Wishes in 2019.
