HALL OF FAME
Leica Camera AG honors René
Burri for his life´s work
The Swiss photographer René
Burri is considered to be one of the best known and most respected
photographers of the 20th and 21st centuries. His portfolios shot as a
photojournalist at political hot spots around the world, for example of the
divided and later reunited city of Berlin, and evocative portraits like those
of the Cuban revolutionary leader Ernesto ‘Che’
Guevara with a cigar, the sculptors and painters Pablo Picasso and Alberto
Giacometti or the architect Le Corbusier founded his fame. Today, some of his
images stand as valuable documents of contemporary history. And now, Leica
Camera AG honours the lifework of the 80-year old Leica photographer, who has
been a member of the Magnum agency for over fifty years, with the Leica Hall of
Fame Award.
LEICA OSKAR BARNACK AWARD

snow
The winners of the Leica

Siberia, Evgenia Arbugaeva has been awarded this prestigious photography prize

in the small town of the same name on the Arctic coast of northern Siberia. The
international jury chose Ciril Jazbec from Slovenia as the winner of the 2013
Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award. His portfolio of images entitled ‘Waiting

global warming.
