Magnum Gallery Celebrates the Enduring Vision of Martin Parr

Magnum Gallery in Paris is opening a solo exhibition titled "Martin Parr: In Plain View" from March 28 to June 6, 2026, dedicated to the late English photographer Martin Parr. The show features works from his three-decade tenure with the Magnum Photos cooperative, tracing his evolution from black-and-white documentary work to his influential color photography, and includes archival materials and interactive experiences.

The exhibition serves as the inaugural show for the new Magnum Gallery and Bookshop in Paris, marking a significant moment for the institution. It highlights Parr's foundational role in shaping documentary photography and his enduring influence on the medium, offering a retrospective that parallels broader shifts in 20th and 21st-century photographic practice.
