Martin Parr – Very Modern and Rather Ugly

Foam pays tribute to Martin Parr with iconic work on consumption, tourism, class and the everyday image.

Foam presents Very Modern and Rather Ugly, an exhibition around the legacy of Martin Parr. The selection brings together his recognisable view of modern society, consumption, tourism and class.

At the centre are series including Common Sense, Autoportrait, The Non-Conformists and The Last Resort.

For international visitors in Amsterdam, this is a sharp and often funny look at how photography can turn ordinary leisure culture into social observation.
