Photographs accompanied by quotations

Made between 1979 and 1981, and gathered as a monograph here for the first time. In black-and-white pictures each carrying a quotation, Knorr sets out the relations of class and of power among the very rich in London at the start of Thatcherism, and the daily life of a privileged minority is looked at critically and satirically. In her own words these are non-portraits, in the sense that they make no attempt to flatter the sitters or to show their truth.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
