Phil Maxwell: 40 Years On – A Retrospective
“It has been my good fortune to record all this life and change continuously for the past thirty years”.
Phil Maxwell – East End Photographer
Celebrating 40 years of Phil Maxwell’s work and its archiving for public use by the Bishopsgate Institute, the exhibition takes you on a journey through his youth in Liverpool to his later life in the East End of London.
- Housed in two venues – the Bishopsgate Institute and Rough Trade – you can walk between the two buildings and experience the vibrancy of the East End first hand. This is the East End seen through Phil Maxwell’s lens – his backdrop and canvass against which he’s captured sketches of life, documenting an instant in time and the social conditions and history of his community.
