Accompanying a major retrospective organized by The PhotoBookMuseum, this volume explores Martin Parr’s monumental legacy as a photographer, collector, and publisher. Parr, a legendary Magnum chronicler of global consumer and leisure culture, published over 200 books in his career. The book is structured like a “Grand Hotel,” leading readers through themed “rooms”—from the lobby of classic works like “The Last Resort” to a “Fashion Boutique.” It includes an illustrated catalogue of the entire Parr Collection at The PhotoBookMuseum and essays by leading curators, celebrating the absurdities and humor of modern life through the medium of the photobook.
