Collections[edit]

The page about CSP at Northumbria University has a list of collections. I visited the website of each, looking for evidence. This was very frustrating, as most only seemed to have bits of their catalogues online. Among them, I got clear evidence from only one institution, the NPG (London). Meanwhile, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the National Gallery of Victoria each offered what appeared to be a complete catalogue but one that did not mention any work by CSP. I have therefore removed these three from the list. -- Hoary (talk) 14:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS and I'm very dubious about the other claims for collections too. -- Hoary (talk) 00:31, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PPS Maybe these galleries' purchasing power exceeded their cataloguing power. Anyway, I've found a statement by the National Gallery of Victoria that it has CSP's work in its collection, and have therefore added it. -- Hoary (talk) 03:03, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Exhibitions[edit]

This Northumberland U page about CSP is dodgy. See its list of exhibitions: it shows events at, among other places, the "Pierce Hall Art Gallery" of Halifax and "Grandship" of Shizuoka. Well, here is the Piece [no r] Hall Art Gallery and here is Granship [no d]. So, typos: no big deal, you may think. However, now try Googling for "chris steele-perkins" grandship "pierce hall" and you'll see this identically misspelled combination appear again and again. It's pretty obvious that these pages aren't independent but merely derive uncritically from some single source; thus their "agreement" on matters more important than spelling doesn't indicate "consensus" or similar but merely uncritical regurgitation of a source that appears slapdash at best.

(And if I may add some POV, all of the above is a great pity. CSP is a fine photographer -- as has been recognized by Magnum and others whose judgement is more important than mine -- and the dodginess of the sources on him shouldn't obscure this.) -- Hoary (talk) 00:31, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More books, or not[edit]

La Grèce au Présent and St Thomas Hospital[edit]

Various CVs sprinkled around the web also list La Grèce au Présent (often less likely accents) and St Thomas Hospital as by CSP. I tentatively identify the former as this and the latter as this. But even if this identification is correct, the former is an exhibition catalogue of work by persons unspecified and the latter looks as if it would mostly be text. Very iffy. -- Hoary (talk) 14:41, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen more references in authoritative places to Steele-Perkins' contribution to La Grèce au Présent and therefore I've added it. But I still haven't seen a copy and haven't read what his contribution is. -- Hoary (talk) 09:29, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In Our Time[edit]

Here's what seems to be a shorter version (fewer pages) and (as as normal for Japanese exhibition catalogues) no ISBN:

  • Warera no jidai: Magunamu shashinten (我らの時代 マグナム写真展). Tokyo: Asahi Shinbunsha, 1991. (in Japanese)

I haven't yet seen it and don't know for sure if it includes CSP's photographs. -- Hoary (talk) 10:54, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Populations en danger[edit]

I think that CSP is one of the seven photographers contributing to Populations en danger - Regards Michalon, Coédition Arte/La Sept éditions/Médecins sans frontières, 1995; ISBN 2-84186-007-8. But I'm not fully sure. -- Hoary (talk) 15:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Children of Ceausescu[edit]

Some online retailers credit Children of Ceausescu (ISBN 1884167101) to CSP; it's instead by Kent Klich (own site). -- Hoary (talk) 15:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The Moscow State Circus Official Programme"[edit]

Some online retailer is selling a copy of:

The Moscow State Circus Official Programme Full Colour Souvenir
Gray, Adrian ( design ) & Steele - Perkins, Chris ( photos ) & Thomas, Heidi ( Notes )
Publisher: The Entertainment Corporation & Dewynters Ltd London
Publication Date: 1988
1st edition 1st May 1988. 24pp. 4to. Numerous colour plates including photo of Charles & Diana + 2 children. Original colour pictorial paper covers, illustration of 4 Cossacks on horses wielding sword + yellow lettering on front. Two staple hinges through.

But for rather too high a price to tempt me. -- Hoary (talk) 15:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unequal Britain[edit]

A retailer offers:

Frank Field, Unequal Britain: A Report on the Cycle of Inequality. Arrow Books, London, 1973. First Arrow Edition 1974. ISBN 0-09-909820-2. Photographs By Chris Steele Perkins , Mark Edwards , Angela Phillips & Others + Diagrams

I'd guess that this only has one or two photos by Steele-Perkins but I don't know. -- Hoary (talk) 12:01, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CD-ROM[edit]

The CD-ROM doesn't turn up in library catalogues, etc. Now and again it turns up in a retailer's list or at Yahoo Auction, which is how I heard of it and bought a copy.

Unsurprisingly, Kubuntu didn't know what to do with the CD or any of its larger files. It runs on Japanese-language Windows XP (the only version of Windows that I tried it with). (I wouldn't be surprised if it worked fine without Japanese, although the Japanese-language help information would be garbled.) Mac OS X demands installation of the old (pre-Unix) Mac OS, which it said was supplied on the original OS CDs; I couldn't be bothered.

The CD lists others in the same series. These are: Bruno Barbey, Asia Africa; René Burri, Loop; Elliott Erwitt, Journey through My Eyes; Elliott Erwitt, Persons (yes, two by Erwitt); Burt Glinn, Violet Sight; Martin Parr, Happy Days; Alex Webb, The Americas. -- Hoary (talk) 09:43, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External links dump[edit]

Another editor thought that the external links were wrong, or excessive, or something. Well, all right. I trimmed the links. Below are what I trimmed; they could be useful for editors in the future. -- Hoary (talk) 14:35, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The other Steele-Perkins[edit]

Is the photographer related to the trumpeter Christopher Steele-Perkins? They were born within three years of each other. I've asked at the other talk page as well. MinorProphet (talk) 11:00, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
