‘Punks’ on Print Sales at The Photographers’ Gallery

WE COULD BE HEROES
6 FEBRUARY – 12 APRIL 2015

Print Sales’ Gallery presents We Could Be Heroes a group exhibition which looks at the development of youth culture and the bittersweet rites of passage towards adulthood over the last century.The exhibition features work from master photographers Bruce Davidson, Ed van der Elsken, Bert Hardy, Karen Knorr and Olivier Richon, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Roger Mayne, Chris Steele-Perkins, Anders Petersen, Al Vandenberg, Weegee and Tom Wood.

The term ‘teenager’ was coined during a new wave of post-war optimism and freedom in which younger generations in Europe and the US seized an opportunity to turn away from tradition and assert new attitudes and subcultures. We Could Be Heroes reflects the exuberance, insouciance and rebellious bravado of this new tribe and its predecessors.

Karen Knorr’s series ‘Ladies’ will be shown as part of the exhibition:

The idea that a photograph can represent who a person actually is has long been debated, and it has been generally accepted that though the image of a face and body represented in a photograph might tell you something about a time and a place, it does not so often tell you much about that individual person. This new exhibition brings together contemporary photographic portraits by British photographers of British subjects.
