Martin Parr - A great eye |
Just last week I went around a Martin Parr curated exhibition at The Barbican, for just £1.00 more when buying the ticket I was given an extra ticket for his own exhibition at The Guildhall Art Gallery and what a treat that was.

A sea of flags at Guildhall Square |
Not just a great exhibition of photographs by Martin but some marvelous paintings and a viewing of what was once a Roman .
Here are just some of the pictures Martin has in display as part of
'Unseen City' (some of my favourites)
|
Household Cavalry Boots (2014)
|
|
Preparations for The Lord Mayor's Banquet (2013)
|
|
Our head of state. |
Here are a couple of the paintings - some great artists represented including Canaletto - this is Collage type thing
by Sir Peter Blake .
|
A work very much in Peter Blake's style commemorates 800 years of the Lord Mayor's show. |
|
Big and bold |
It's a smashing and under visited facility in the very heart of Town.
The archaeological remains of the amphitheatre are shown sympathetically and evoke the arena that once was.
[and this
exhibition is Free]

Tiered seating gave views of the action |
