The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Martine Franck.
The Fondation holds all the prints, film negatives, contact sheets and documents bequeathed by the two photographers.
Created in 2025, the Martine Franck Curatorial Research Grant aims to help researchers and curators develop a research and exhibition project on the work of Martine Franck and/or Henri Cartier-Bresson, working from the Foundation’s archives.
Awarded every two years, the Grant provides the recipient—selected from a new international generation of scholars—with ideal conditions to carry out their research, and contributes to renewing curatorial approaches on the work of the two photographers by supporting original and contemporary perspectives.
The Martine Franck Curatorial Research Grant is supported by the Linklaters Foundation.

Eligibility:

The recipient also benefits from facilitated access to the Foundation’s archives, research support and mentoring for curatorial work.
