About The Work
Badminton Horse Trials, Gloucestershire showcases the vibrant palette that made Martin Parr one of the most important color photographers in the world, and continues his ferocious appetite for social observation and accuracy for encapsulating the insecurities and vanities of modern life.
This Martin Parr retrospective is rich in the wit and color for which Parr's work is well known, yet simultaneously offers the first ever-serious assessment of the career of this major contemporary photographer. Parr combines an urge to document with an attitude of incisive bemusement by social behavior. Val Williams, distinguished writer and curator, considers Parr's later work—also his most famous—within the context of his full career. In so doing, she shows how Parr's subtle and striking photographs have highlighted political and social change over the last 30 years.
