Paul Graham was born in the United Kingdom in 1956. His use of color film in the late 1970s and early 1980s, at a time when British photography was dominated by traditional black-and-white social documentary had a revolutionizing effect on the genre, causing a new school of color photography to emerge. In 1981, Graham completed his first acclaimed work by photographing life along England’s primary arterial road in a series of color photographs entitled A1: The Great North Road. In 2011, The Museum of Modern Art acquired the complete set of prints that Graham had originally used to print his first book in 1983. Over the past three decades, Graham has traveled widely, producing 13 distinct bodies of work that include Beyond Caring (1984–1985), Empty Heaven (1989–1995), Ceasefire (6–8 April 1994), End of the Age (1996–1998), American Night (1998–2002), a shimmer of possibility (2004–2006), The Present(2011), and Does Yellow Run Forever? (2011– 2014).
