Acquire Peter Mitchell prints
Acquire Peter Mitchell prints
Until 15 June 2025
Coinciding with Peter Mitchell: Nothing Lasts Forever at The Photographers’ Gallery, we are delighted to offer our collectors the chance to acquire prints from Peter Mitchell's extraordinary archive!
Peter Mitchell (b.1943, UK) is widely regarded as one of the most important early colour photographers of the 1970s and 80s. A powerful storyteller and social historian, Mitchell’s photography unfolds a longstanding and poetic connection with Leeds. He has chronicled the people and places, and the demolition and development of the city with warmth and familiarity for over 40 years.
Mitchell has been described as ‘a narrator of who we were, a chaser of a disappearing world’. From an alien's view of England, to demolished flats, proud shopkeepers and landlords, back-streets and eerie scarecrows, his photographs reveal his love, and at times, off-beat vision, of the people and changing face of the city.
Calling himself 'a man of the pavement', Mitchell continues to regularly walk the streets of Leeds to photograph his beloved hometown today.
