Description from the seller
The GRAND HOTEL PARR catalogue is the first comprehensive photobook retrospective on Martin Parr.

Essential reference for photography enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone interested in the evolution of the Photobook.
The PhotoBookMuseum presents the first comprehensive photobook retrospective on Martin Parr at the Neues Museum Nuremberg from 24 October 2025 to 22 February 2026. Parr published over 200 books over a period of more than five decades. As a photographer, publisher, writer, collector and image editor, he was connected to the medium photobook like no other photographer of our era. GRAND HOTEL PARR explores and celebrates Parr’s books in all their richness and diversity. Including an illustrated catalogue of all publications of The PhotoBookMuseum Parr-Collection.
Seller's Story
Dartbooks is a specialized photography bookshop based in Barcelona, dedicated to photobooks, rare and out-of-print editions, and historically significant publications. With a strong focus on Japanese photography, Dartbooks was founded to provide continuity to a field that requires depth, expertise, and careful curation.
The bookshop was established after the closure of Kowasa, a landmark reference for photography books in Spain. Its disappearance left a clear gap for photographers, collectors, and institutions in need of a space with a serious and knowledgeable approach to the photobook. Dartbooks emerged in response to that need, not as a replacement, but as part of the natural evolution of a cultural ecosystem.
Dartbooks operates with a curatorial mindset, shaped by long-term engagement with photography and book collecting. The project functions as a book hunting platform for collectors, professionals, and libraries worldwide, and also provides advisory support to other bookshops seeking to develop coherent and specialized photography collections.
The catalogue includes new publications, rare and out-of-print titles, monographs, retrospectives, self-published works, signed copies, and editions produced directly by photographers through their own imprints. The selection reflects a sustained commitment to photography as a form of visual narration, where images construct meaning beyond text.
Although rooted in the Gràcia neighbourhood of Barcelona, Dartbooks serves an international audience. Its community includes collectors, professionals, and institutions from France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and beyond, both through the physical space and the online platform.
Dartbooks understands the photobook not merely as an object of consumption, but as a cultural artifact that documents artistic practices, historical contexts, and personal visions. The bookshop functions simultaneously as a place of discovery, an archive in constant growth, and a point of connection between photographers, publishers, and readers.
