Synopsis "Martin Parr: From the Pope to a Flat White, Ireland 1979–2019, Limited Edition "

A limited edition of Parr's photobook commemorating a longstanding love affair with IrelandThis special edition limited to 70 copies includes the book and one gelatin silver print signed and numbered by Parr. The picture is titled Glenbeigh Races, County Kerry, 1983. The print measures 7 7/8 x 11 2/5 inches. Martin Parr (born 1952) has been taking photographs in Ireland for 40 years. His work covers many of the most significant moments in Ireland's recent history, encompassing the Pope's visit in 1979, when a third of the country's population attended Mass in Knock and Phoenix Park in Dublin, to gay weddings in 2019. Parr lived in the West of Ireland between 1980 and 1982. He photographed traditional aspects of rural life such as horse fairs and dances, but also looked at the first hints of Ireland's new wealth in the shape of the bungalows that were springing up everywhere, replacing more traditional dwellings.

Martin Parr (Martin Trevor Parr, Epsom, Inglaterra, 1952 – Bristol, 2025) fue uno de los fotógrafos documentales más influyentes y reconocibles de la fotografía contemporánea. Su obra se caracteriza por el uso incisivo del color, el humor incómodo y una mirada crítica —a veces cruel, siempre lúcida— sobre el consumo, el turismo de masas y las costumbres de la clase media. Desde los años setenta desarrolló un estilo propio que rompió con la tradición documental británica, apostando por lo cotidiano, lo kitsch y lo aparentemente banal como espejo social.

Entre sus trabajos más emblemáticos se encuentra The Last Resort (1986), serie que lo consagró internacionalmente. Parr fue miembro pleno de la agencia Magnum Photos y ejerció un papel clave en la redefinición del documental fotográfico europeo. A lo largo de su carrera recibió numerosos reconocimientos, entre ellos el Baillie Gifford Prize y distinciones honoríficas en el Reino Unido. Además, impulsó activamente la preservación y difusión de la fotografía a través de la Martin Parr Foundation, dejando un legado tan influyente como incómodo.
