Another London
Opens: 27/07/2012 Closes: 16/09/2012
Tate Britain, London.
London has thought of itself at various times both the most photographed and the most international city in the world. This show addresses both claims, presenting a large selection of monochrome snaps by foreign photographers (including some luminaries like Henri Cartier-Bresson) who captured the city on camera between 1930 and 1980. Read our Alternative London blog inspired by this show here.

Time Out“An eerie mix of the foreign and the familiar...” Eventually, London absorbs and appropriates all strangeness, human or otherwise, while remaining itself: fascinating to look at - but hard to read, boldly modern - yet tinted monochrome with nostalgia...
