Hi,

there's a small but perfectly formed selling exhibition of photographs by
David Hurn of Magnum at the Focus Gallery, Museum St., London at the moment.
http://www.focusgallery.co.uk/

As well as some if his familiar photos of Wales, Texas, England and
Hungary it includes some of his rarely-seen landscape work, and some
quite extraordinary re-photographs of Atget's work in Paris. In these
Hurn has revisited several of the scenes Atget photographed, and
reproduced them exactly. The places haven't changed at all in 80+
years (pix are from the 1980s). Hurn even went there at the same
season, and in the same light.

An exceptional exhibition by an exceptional photographer.
