  About Glasgow

Raymond Depardons work documenting the people and environment of 1980’s Glasgow. "I lived in Glasgow from 1971-1975 - I was a student at Glasgow University — and so came to know the city very well indeed. I have been back to Glasgow several times every year since then. My wife has family there – and I have seen at first hand, over the last four decades, the city’s striking evolution from 19th century relic to the modern, vibrant conurbation it is today. It’s an intriguing idea to contemplate that when Raymond Depardon was in Glasgow in 1980-82, when he was taking these remarkable photographs, so was I. Conceivably our paths may have crossed, tangentially. What he was seeing and photographing were scenes that were very familiar to me. But not to anyone else, I imagine. This is a risky generalisation but, outside of Scotland, I would say that Glasgow is something of a secret city." - From the Foreword by William Boydd.
