Here's Martin with Ellen and some of his team last October at the opening of GRAND HOTEL PARR, at the @Neues_Museum_Nuernberg, Germany 💙

GRAND HOTEL PARR was the first comprehensive retrospective exhibition of Martin Parr photobooks, produced by @The_PhotoBookMuseum in Cologne 🙌 Martin had great fun at the opening, enthusiastically wheeling the GRAND HOTEL PARR cleaning trolley around the vast gallery spaces, while reflecting on the many people reading his books.

This year The Photobook Museum is travelling to Bristol for the @BOP_bristol 26 photobook festival weekend to give an artist talk on the exhibition’s creation and development, The PhotoBookMuseum’s working processes, plus their experience making the GRAND HOTEL PARR photobook.

Link in bio to get your ticket to join the talk.

Heartbreaking news today of the unexpected passing of Martin Parr....Devastated to hear that this amazing man is no longer with us...My heart goes out to his wife Susie, his family and everyone at the Foundation...He was always so encouraging and full of support...Kind, funny and a proper rebel in his own lifetime...He even got a Fuck Shit Government hoodie...First met him in the 80s when he came to lecture at my art college in Stoke...later he would come and do workshops at the amazing Photographers At Duckspool in the Somerset Quantocks where I was artist in residence...we showed work together at Hereford Photo Festival, and most recently he unfailingly supported my archive, books and zines both at BOP and not at BOP...Fly high my friend you are sorely missed ...❤

I managed to capture a few more photos at @martinparrstudio and Martin kindly held up a poster of the forthcoming film by Lee Shulman @dogwoof about Martin Parr.

Another daily visitor at the @martinparrstudio is Minnie the cat 🧡 SO beautiful and made to feel very welcome.

One of the showings is @w_shed on the 20th of this month. Please see @dogwoof for further screenings.

Discover the maverick behind some of the most iconic images of the past century on an intimate and exclusive road trip across England with the uncompromising Parr, whose subjects, frames and colours have revolutionised contemporary photography.

Lee Shulman is the founder and creative director of The Anonymous Project. He is a graduate of the University of Westminster with a BA (Hons) in film and photography.

Wow ! What a privilege to meet Martin Parr. He generously added his #fingerprints to sit alongside #SPOTtimespotTIME 10 year art social document.

‘Martin Parr’s distinctive style of photography captures the oddities and humours of everyday British life through a vibrantly coloured, hyper-realistic lens. At the beginning of the 1980s Parr’s work aimed to mirror the lifestyle of ordinary British people, reflecting the social decline and distress of the working class during the era of Margaret Thatcher. He earned an international reputation for his oblique approach to social documentary, and for innovative imagery. The Last Resort: Photographs of New Brighton (1986) was Parr’s first project to show a move towards his now distinct personal style: bright colours and vivid images, gaining him the reputation as a renowned satirical photojournalist. Other of Parr’s series include Bad Weather (1982), Common Sense (1995-99), and Signs of the Times (1992).

Parr was born in Surrey in 1952, later studying Photography at Manchester Polytechnic. He has exhibited his work globally since 1974, including exhibitions at The National Portrait Gallery and The Photographer’s Gallery, London, The National Centre of Photography, Paris and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Japan. Parr is prolific in his output and has published over a hundred books of his own work. He has won many awards throughout his career including the Royal Photographic Society’s Centenary Award, Photokina’s Eric Solomon Award for photojournalism and in 2017, Sony World Photography Award for Outstanding Contribution to Photography. Parr was the president of Magnum Photos between 2013 – 2017, and remains one of the country’s most popular photojournalists, contributing to a wide range of printed media. Parr founded the Martin Parr Foundation in 2014, opening its premises in Bristol in 2017. The Foundation holds Parr’s own archive, and is a centre for talks, screenings and events.’
