Don McCullin exhibition book, Tate Liverpool edition - signed copy

Signed by Don McCullin himself, this stunning signed paperback exhibition catalogue was created to accompany Tate Liverpool’s 2020 exhibition of the work of the iconic British photographer. As well as images from the original exhibition, it also features newly-printed images of Liverpool and the North of England taken in the 1960s and 70s.

Reflecting on his long career as a conflict photographer, it highlights all areas of McCullin’s output, from his social documentary practice and travel assignments to his more recent engagement with landscape.

A native Londoner, McCullin began to take photographs in the 1950s documenting his surroundings and local community, including the gangs in his neighbourhood. In 1958 his photograph The Guvnors – a portrait of a notorious Finsbury Park gang who were involved in the murder of a police officer – was published in the Observer, launching his career as a photojournalist. He went on to become one of the best-known war correspondents in the country.
