Bob Carlos Clarke: One-Offs
Described as "one of the great photographic image-makers of the last few decades" by Terence Pepper, Curator of Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, a new exhibition at The Little Black Gallery in London gives the public and collectors a rare opportunity to view and buy unique Bob Carlos Clarke photographs. All the pictures have been chosen by his widow Lindsey Carlos Clarke from the extensive archives. Many are handcoloured, distressed, or were printed once and then left forgotten until now. Bob Carlos Clarke was born in Cork, Ireland in 1950. He worked in almost every sphere of photography, winning numerous awards for his high-profile advertising campaigns, recognition for his photojournalism and portraits of celebrities, and international acclaim from collectors of fine prints. Suffering from depression Clarke stepped in front of train and died in 2006. One-Offs will be on view from May 28 to June 30, 2012 at The Little Black Gallery, 13A Park Walk, London SW10 0AJ
