AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare signed copy on the front endpaper by Martin Parr (1952-2025) of 'United Kingdom' published in the Fashion Eyes collection by Louis Vuitton. 116 pages (including two small 16-page booklets in half-page size in the middle) and 90 full-page color photographs, some in double-page spreads. Biography of Martin Parr accompanied by a text titled 'I Love the English' by Patrick Rémy in both English and French. Very beautiful cloth binding with photographs mounted on the cover and back. Excellent condition, like new.
Although he has traveled the world, especially for commissions, Martin Parr remains deeply attached to his fellow citizens... All of the photographer's art lies in criticizing his compatriots with feigned innocence – I am always critical of British society, he affirms... Over time, his gaze becomes more tender, more serene.
One of the questions raised by this selection of photographs is whether the kingdom remains united despite its extreme diversity of population, or if it will be divided by its persistent tricolor assertion—red, blue, white.
Book from my personal collection kept with the utmost care. Protected shipping with reinforced packaging and guaranteed international postal tracking. In case of multiple purchases, grouped shipment is possible with a refund of any overpaid postal fees via Paypal.
0.8 kg excluding packaging.
