A TALE OF THE CITIES
a photography exhibition by Anthony Jones
Barbican

Arts Library Exhibition Space
Silk Street
London EC2Y 8DS
from 4 - 27 April 2006
In the 1950's the American photographer Robert Frank produced his now iconic photographs of the city of London at work.
Some fifty years later photographer Anthony Jones comes to the subject with this series of tightly composed black and white studies which convey a sense of mystery and tension.
Though Anthony's work has been published and exhibited on both sides of the Atlantic, this is the first time it has been exhibited in the square mile and is something of a homecoming.
All the photographs are for sale.
Review | Brian Sharland
"In a day when more photographers are moving to the "quick fix" of digital or are exploring "contemporary themes" it was a real pleasure to see the sheer image quality of Anthony's black & white printing.
Mostly interpretative architecture in style his works are beautifully printed and presented and we were left very much wanting to see more. Anthony told us he works with a Hassleblad and prints on Ilford warm tone paper which certainly suits his iconic architecture subjects.
Anthony's exhibition with his quality of printing
will only add to the argument for continuing to use silver gelatin papers
and fine art printing. A strong exhibition from a thoroughly nice man!"
