The work of Martin Parr bridges the divide between art and documentary photography. His studies of the idiosyncrasies of mass culture and consumerism around the world have placed him firmly at the forefront of contemporary art.
Parr is an avid collector of books and a world authority on the photobook. Gerry Badger is a photo historian, architect and art critic.
But what is a Photobook anyway? The photobook is a book of photographs by a photographer that has an overarching theme or follows a storyline.
Volume III pays particular attention to photobooks published after World War II, covering contemporary themes of modern life, from diaristic photography of place and people to twentieth-century propaganda books and some of the finest works to emerge from the recent self-publishing boom.
