About
Recognised for his exemplary collaborations with the faces of the sixties including David Bowie, Jean Shrimpton and Michael Caine, Duffy recorded modern Britain and explored the youth-driven cultural shift within art, music and fashion.
After an exceptional photographic career Duffy became frustrated by the industry, and in 1979 retired abruptly, rebelliously burning a large number of his negatives in a backyard fire. In 2010, Duffy died at the age of 76, leaving behind a small number of signed works, many on view within this exhibition. What negatives survived formed The Duffy Archive, a comprehensive history of twenty five years of British culture and fashion.
This diverse collection of photographs, many unpublished since the 1960’s, encompasses fashion editorials, celebrity portraiture and international advertising campaigns as Duffy captured the lifestyle trends of this momentous decade.
