description

Aperture is delighted to present an exclusive limited-edition portfolio in celebration of President Barack Obama’s inauguration:

In Fall 2008, Aperture proudly published Martin Parr’s Postcards and Objects (Aperture/Chris Boot 2009), featuring a selection of Parr’s vast collections of photographic and themed objects. Specially showcased were the objects he sees as personality-led: from commemorative Margaret Thatcher plates to wristwatches featuring Saddam Hussein’s face, with everything from Spice Girls chocolate bars and busts of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in between.

Parr’s latest obsession has been the wide array of Obama ephemera. His growing collection includes the most quotidian—like rhinestone pins—but also the most absurd, such as cola bottles and underwear.

Aperture, in collaboration with Janet Borden Gallery, is offering a portfolio of four prints, available at special pre-publication price of $1,250.
