Parr has one of the biggest private collections in England, where social documentary photography is found alongside works from the 1970s and 80s by Tony Ray-Jones, Chris Killip and Graham Smith. Artists such as Keith Arnatt, Mark Neville, Jem Southam and Tom Wood represent contemporary British photography.<\/p>\n

The international section features images that have influenced Parr or with which he feels a strong personal connection, ranging from photographs by masters such as Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand and William Eggleston, to pictures by friends like John Gossage and Gilles Peress, as well as work by Japanese photographers, including Osamu Kanemura, Kohei Yoshiyuki and Rinko Kawauchi.<\/p>\n

You may be intrigued to know that Parr has also acquired a selection of We English<\/a> prints, two of which – ‘Mad Maldon Mud Race’ and ‘<\/span><\/span>Holy Island of Lindisfarne’ – <\/span>are included in the exhibition.
