JANET BORDEN, INC. is pleased to announce MARTIN PARR: USA COLOR, an important retrospective exhibition of photographs by renowned photographer MARTIN PARR. All of these images have been taken in the USA, over a period of almost twenty years.
Parr’s observation is a deadpan look at the styles, the excess, the banality of the culture. He travels the world, observing human behavior with a wry and enthusiastic vision, which has now come to rest on the American scene. Color is bright and and enticing, illuminating both the extraordinary and the mundane.

Seen together, this dazzling mix of high/low themes, colors, and ideas, people and places create a hilarious view of America.
Concurrent with this exhibition is Aperture Foundation’s new publication and exhibition, Life’s a Beach, a compendium of Parr’s worldwide obsession with holidays by the sea.
MARTIN PARR was born in Surrey, England, in 1952. He currently lives in Bristol, and maintains a studio in London.
