Paul Graham is the new edition of the 2009 book that showcased Graham’s work from 1981 to 2006 and accompanied
a major travelling exhibition. Graham is a defining practitioner in art photography: he was the first to unite
contemporary colour and social documentary photography, and his work in the early and mid 1980s transformed the
black and white tradition that had previously dominated British photography. Since then Graham has redefined the
possibilities of the medium in such progressive series as “End of an Age” (1996–98) and “a shimmer of possibility”
(2004–06). Paul Graham includes an illustrated summary of his publications, showing the book to be an important
medium in his practice.
Paul Graham was born in England in 1956 and currently lives in New York. Graham has received numerous awards
including a Eugene Smith Memorial Fellowship and has exhibited extensively, including at the Museum of Modern Art
in New York and Tate Gallery in London. His books include Empty Heaven (1995), American Night (2003) and a
shimmer of possibility (2007).
