GREAT GIFT ITEM!!!
This beautifully printed archival print was sold by Magnum for only 3 or 4 days in the Summer of 2014. The prints were issued in an un-numbered limited edition (limited to the number of prints purchased during the days in which the sale was open to the public). They were then carefully printed to the highest standards and signed by the photographers. As such, these are sure to become highly collectible photographs given the provenance linking them directly to the Magnum collective and each of the photographers who chose to participate in the event.
Martin Parr is a key figure in the world of photography, recognized as a brilliant satirist of contemporary life. Author of over thirty photography books, including Common Sense, Our True Intent Is All for Your Delight and Boring Postcards, his photographs have been collected by museums worldwide, including the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA, Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY and the Tate Modern, London, UK.
