Martin Parr Jubilee Street Party Elland Yorkshire 1977 Print

About the Item

Jubilee Street Party Elland, Yorkshire 1977 illustrates the defiance of their subjects in continuing as they have always done, and demonstrating a tenacity that would later contrast starkly with the technicolour consumerist world that Parr captured in the 1980s. This Edition Collector's Editions are commissioned by and especially created for Phaidon Press. Each comprises a special edition of a Phaidon book that is beautifully cloth bound and presented in a cloth-bound box with an original print, made, signed and numbered by the artist or photographer. The Collector's Edition of Martin Parr comprises a specially bound book presented in a cloth-bound box with either a silver gelatin or C-type limited edition print made and signed by the photographer. Martin Parr's work has always provoked discussion and debate. A pioneer of color photography and an insightful commentator on the commercial culture of today as well as domestic and social life, he has revitalized and repositioned contemporary documentary photography. A member of Magnum since 1994, Parr has published over 20 books and been widely exhibited around the globe. This is his first major retrospective book documenting his complete career to date. After graduating from Manchester Polytechnic, Parr and a group of his fellow photography graduates moved to the industrial Pennine town of Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, where Parr seized the opportunity to witness the northern working class with all its idiosyncrasies and dwindling traditions: 'The chapels seemed to encapsulate everything that I was interested in, in terms of the traditional aspect of life in Yorkshire: decaying and declining, hanging on with great verve and principle and great belief in the significance of what they were doing.'
