ARCH GALLERY, LONDON

'STEAK AND BREW'

SEPTEMBER 2010

Arch gallery presented a collection of photographs from Anderson's early career in the 1980s. This work records a
rarely-seen alternative '80s. Working closely with his subjects - many of whom have since become household
names - these photographs captured the energy of an era when music, fashion and politics first collided.
It is a time that is still deeply influential today. He is one of the few photographers who still uses the dark room
himself, working off industrial enlargers and custom made equipment to produce his
trade mark 5ft x 4ft (150cm x 120cm) hand made silver gelatin prints.
