In Camera: Snowdon

If you like photography, make a beeline for the Art Gallery from now until the 3rd of March.

In Camera: Snowdon Private View

The Art Gallery showcasing the work of Snowdon.

A Touring Exhibition from Pallant House Gallery has landed at the Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery and showcases one of Britains most well-known photographers, Lord Snowdon.

In 1965, his seminal book Private View was published, this exhibition displays some of those photographs which documented the contemporary British art scene showing how London now rivalled New York and Paris as an artistic capital of the world.

"Highly recommended."

We stood and stared long and hard at some of the really gorgeous prints and actually thought that the dates were wrong on some of them. You'll see what I mean when you visit but it really looks like they were shot yesterday, and not 1963.

The exhibition also includes rare alternative shots not previously published in the book and follows Snowdon's work in the year's since Private View was published. There are also some new photographs to showcase the new generation of British artists including Damien Hirst and Grayson Perry.

Highly recommended. Please also consider picking up the book on sale, "In Camera Snowdon" for £12.95 or drop some coins into the Donation Box, it all helps.
