Paul Graham in London

Up until December 18, 2020, the Huxley-Parlour Gallery in London presents vintage prints from the series ‘A1 - The Great North Road’ by Paul Graham. The featured images were originally published in 1983 as part of the photographer’s first book of the same title.

To create his groundbreaking study, Graham (b. 1956 in Stafford) repeatedly travelled along the A1 – Britain’s longest numbered road, spanning from London to Edinburgh – to document life in the UK during the de-industrialisation of the Thatcher era.

The series, which combined social documentary traditions with an innovative approach to colour photography, inspired a whole new generation of colour photographers. In 2011, the entire set of original prints was purchased by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
