Paul Graham
Paul Graham was born in Stafford, England in 1956 and now divides his time between London and New York. In 1981/82 he photographed and published "A1 - The Great North Road", a series of forty colour photographs taken along the length of the British A1 road. This use of colour photography transformed conventional black and white British photography of the time and Paul Graham influenced the subsequent colour work of names such as Martin Parr, Richard Billingham and Anna Fox. His photographs take a fresh visual approach to documentary photography while inclusive of social commentary.
Collections of Paul Graham's work can be found in the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, the Tate Gallery, the V&A Museum, the European Parliament, the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Museum Communali, Musee de la Photographie, the Winnipeg Art Museum and many private collections ranging across the U.S.A, Europe and Japan. His most notable solo exhibition was held by the Tate Gallery in London, 1996 but he has held other exhibitions in Madrid, Paris, Belgium, Los Angeles, Belgium and New York.
