Subject-wise, Martin Parr's finest achievement. Limited Slipcased Edition of 1000 numbered and signed copies.

The Limited Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Martin Parr and Xavier Barral: Oversize-volume format. Pale yellow cloth boards with titles printed on pink paper that is pasted in front. The book design is that of a full-fledged photo album, complete with black string-tied spine, tissue-paper overlay on each page, and scrapbook hinges upon each photograph. Photographs by Martin Parr. Apart from each photograph's Caption, there is no text. Cardboard Slipcase with titles on pink paper pasted on one side. Printed by Xavier Barral to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. In publisher's original plastic wrappers. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in a Limited Edition format, Martin Parr's "Life's A Beach". The extremely prolific photographer's most iconic collection. "In the United Kingdom, one is never more than seventy-five miles away from the coast. With this much shoreline, it's not surprising that there is a strong British tradition of photography by the seaside. American photographers may have given birth to street photography. But according to Martin Parr, 'in the UK, we have the beach'. There, people can relax, be themselves, and show off all those traces of mildly eccentric British behavior. Parr has been photographing this subject for decades, documenting all aspects of the tradition. This obsession has led Parr to photograph beaches across the world: Photos of beach-goers on far-flung shores, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Japan, the United States, Mexico, Thailand, among others. Immersing us in the rituals and traditions associated with beach life the world over" (Publisher's blurb). Martin Parr's breakthrough was "The Last Resort" (1986), which depicts the seaside resort of New Brighton. He has photographed many other subjects since then. But he keeps coming back, inescapably, to his true subject because it is his original inspiration: In case you hadn't noticed, the saturated colors of Parr's body of work, identified with him and is his "trademark" as our colorist-photographer, derive from the beach, in all its sunburned intensity. "The British approach to sunburn was simple: Get out there and upgrade yesterday's patchy burns into something of more uniform severity" (Jonathan Lee). An absolute "must-have" title for Martin Parr collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition, indicated/serial-numbered as such on both the Cardboard Slipcase and the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in green pen-marker in front by Martin Parr. This title is a great art photography book. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online, is still in the publisher's original plastic wrappers, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online command as much as $700. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 98 hinged color plates. The most influential and most important British photographer of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MARTIN PARR TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1597112240. Signed by Author.

Number 633 of an edition of 1000. New in original shrinkwrap. 12 3/4" x 9 1/2".Publisher's Description: In the United Kingdom, one is never more than seventy-five miles away from the coast. With this much shoreline, it's not surprising that there is a strong British tradition of photography by the seaside. American photographers may have given birth to street photography, but according to photographer Martin Parr, "in the UK, we have the beach!" Here, he asserts, people can relax, be themselves, and show off all those traces of mildly eccentric British behavior. Parr has been photographing this subject for many decades, documenting all aspects of the tradition. His international career, in fact, could well be traced to the launch of The Last Resort, a 1986 book depicting the seaside resort of New Brighton, near Liverpool. What may be less known is that this obsession has led Parr to photograph beaches across the world. This compilation, his first on the topic, presents photos of beachgoers on far-flung shores, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Japan, the United States, Mexico, Thailand, and of course, the UK, among others. This book shows Parr at his best, startling us with the moments of captured absurdity and immersing us in the rituals and traditions associated with beach life the world over.
