Martin Parr: Dec 16

Talk & Book Signing
Tuesday, December 16, 7:00 pm
Strand Bookstore , 828 Broadway

Martin Parr’s collections of photography books and postcards are world-renowned. Unbeknownst to many, he is also an obsessive collector of photographic and themed objects. Parr will discuss his luscious new two-volume set, Parrworld: Objects and Postcards (Aperture, 2008). While Objects is the first publication to document his twenty-five-plus years of such collecting, Postcards is the “last word” on an extraordinary collection of over twenty thousand cards. http://www.aperture.org
