[SIGNED] MARTIN PARR NO SMOKING SPECIAL EDITION

Martin Parr. No Smoking. Throughout his career Martin Parr has captured daily life as it really is and as you sift through the archives it is rather difficult to not stumble upon a cigarette, cigar, pipe or – in recent years – a dreaded vape. So, with murmurs of the United Kingdom banning the purchase of tobacco by anyone born after 2009, no time seems more ideal to offer up a typically Parr commentary on society’s ever-changing relationship with smoking.

Deluxe edition: 25 copies, numbered 1 to 25, this being number 24 (images supplied by Rocket Gallery - you will receive print number 24/25). The book housed in a cloth-bound solander box and accompanied by a signed & numbered colour archival pigment photograph from Benidorm, 1997.

2024. 73 full-colour and b&w photographs, printed by die Keure, Bruges. Hardcover. 25 x 16 cm, 96 pages.
