'Not to be missed: 160 views of Germany ... each more dreary than the next - and yet more comical. Langweillige Postkarten is not boring at all.' (Die Tageszeitung)


About the author(s)
The work of Martin Parr bridges the divide between art and documentary photography. His studies of the idiosyncrasies of mass culture and consumerism around the world, his innovative imagery and his prolific output have placed him firmly at the forefront of contemporary art. A member of the international photo agency Magnum, Parr is an avid collector of books and a world authority on the photobook.
