Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Signed First Edition originally self-published, Paul Graham's renowned series,"Beyond Caring" was photographed during a difficult social time in the UK when unemployed was high. The waiting rooms and corridors of the Social Security and Unemployment offices where full of queues, long waits and poor conditions in an overburdened system. Denied official permission to take the images, Graham's photographs were taken discreetly, usually without looking through the camera. These images have grown not only in photographic importance, but also as a unique historic record of the mid-1980's. Condition: Very Good - in a cellophane cover, VERY minor shelf wear to the extremities, contents clean, bright and tight. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 013570

Quer-4°. [64] Bl. mit 32 Farbtafeln. Farbig illustr. OKart. Auer 669. Parr/Badger II, 300. - Erste Ausgabe. - "The . book is one of the key works defining the New Colour Documentary in the UK, and represents the most overtly documentary side of Graham's practice. The work was shot all over Britain during 1984 and 1985, and shows a welfare and benefits system under immense stain towards the end of Magaret Thatcher's premiership of the Conservative government. . Graham's images show all the tedium and humiliation incumbent upon being unemployed and forced to wait long hours in drap, run-down government centres for a weekly handout from the state. It is a rite of passage that many young artists (including Graham) undergo and the bitter tone of his images reflects that personal experience, as well as his outrage at a system that humiliates both the recipients and its operators. . Graham shot these dole offices in colour, in a surreptitious manner that seemed to place him both as a spy and as a protagonist" (Parr/Badger). - Umschlag minimal berieben, sehr gutes Exemplar.
