LONDON and Europe Doc

A documentary look at London and European cities in late 1980s. An 138pg book of 79 b&w photographs on the streets of London, Paris, Budapest, Berlin by documentary photographer Russ Marshall. This is a soft cover, 11x8.5 perfect bound magazine format book and comes encased in an archival clear polypropylene book cover for protection from finger prints and scratches. The photographs were taken on trips to England and Europe in the years of 1987, 89 and 90. I was on assignment on a couple of the trips for an American based international labor and political publication. Many were subsequently used in other publications. Some were sold through galleries and a fine art photography representative I was signed on with at the time. Thirteen - fifteen prints will be part of a larger exhibition in November 2020 - June 2021 at the Detroit Institute of Arts in Detroit, MI. For those interested -- the photographs were all shot on Tri-X film in Nikons. CLICK on cover image to take you to ETSY to order.

(2011) Both publications give voice to the mass of anonymous laborers and acknowledge that their efforts, their skills and their lives mattered and that they did exist at that time and in that place.
