Martin Parr

Description

A selection of forty-five postcards from Martin Parr’s highly successful retrospective book published by Phaidon. Parr is a major photographer who bridges the gap between art and photojournalism; his provocative work is widely known throughout Europe and the United States. This selection includes some of the most amusing and ironic images from Parr’s entire career, in a range of colour and black-and-white photographs, and are presented in a specially created box that mirrors the design of the original book.The work of Martin Parr (b.1952) bridges the divide between art and documentary photography. His studies of the idiosyncrasies of mass culture and consumerism around the world, his innovative imagery and his prolific output have placed him firmly at the forefront of contemporary art. A world authority on photography books and, more recently, a film-maker, Parr joined Magnum in 1994.
