Signed & Framed Martin Parr Magnum Photographic Limited Print, 1995
By Martin Parr
Located in London, GB
For sale an original signed limited edition museum-quality Magnum 6x6 photographic print by MARTIN PARR (British, born 1952).
Titled "Bedminster, Bristol, England, GB. 1995", this Magnum print was a time limited edition that was only available to purchase for a period of five days.
The work is signed to the back together with an affixed archival label which carries the image’s accompanying text and is printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Matte paper. The piece is mounted in a white lacquered frame.
The accompanying text by the artist reads:
“In 1995 I bought a ring flash and a macro lens, a combination usually associated with medical photography. My first project was to take photos of British food, a subject often regarded as very lacklustre, but which has in recent years enjoyed a strong revival. This photo was one of the first taken and suddenly I could see the possibilities with this new approach.”
Martin Parr thinks of his photography as an ongoing investigation of human interaction, leisure, and context. Parr is interested in how people live and present themselves to others, particularly in how they display their values. His subjects have included the spectators of a championship polo game...
