Global Warning

Martin Parr puts the world to rights in this comprehensive catalogue of five decades of his photographs, published to accompany a major exhibition at Jeu de Paume in Paris

Description

By turns critical, satirical, surprising, and funny, Global Warning is richly illustrated with more than 175 of his photographs, from his early black-and-white work in the raucous holiday parks and sleepy supermarkets of rural England to his more recent colour photography of bustling tourist attractions and must-see destinations from across the globe. These are important topics that seem immediately relevant to our everyday lives.

Showcasing many of Parr's most renowned images alongside rarely published hidden gems, this book presents more than five decades of incisive visual commentary from one of the world’s most celebrated photographers.
