'My Other Archive': a rare Philip Townsend photography collection at Selfridges London

London | 17 May 2012 - 31 May 2012

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton by Philip Townsend photography collection at Selfridges London

From Thursday 17 May, we are delighted to present ‘My Other Archive’, a collection of previously unseen early Philip Townsend photographs, in conjunction with Turner Barnes Gallery & Zebra Gallery.

Philip Townsend’s entire photographic career covered the most extraordinary of decades, when London was one of the most remarkable cities. Starting to photograph precious moments in 1958 and throughout the 1960s, Philip  captured iconic images of the sixties and prolific people of that time. Highlights of the exhibition include intimate moments between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

These rare images are going on show for the first time at Selfridges London, hosted by Loft Living on the Fourth Floor. Don’t miss out; discover the never-before-seen work of Philip Townsend from 17 May until 31 May.
