This is a rare opportunity to see an exhibition from one of the world's greatest living photographers. Now in his 80s but still working, Elliott Erwitt is probably best known for his whimsical images of dogs. This show comprises four of his most famous photographs — including the iconic Felix, Gladys and Rover (aka big dog, woman's legs, small dog) and a snapshot of Marilyn Monroe — reproduced as platinum prints. These sit alongside a selection of his silver-gelatin prints of celebrity faces (from Grace Kelly to Che Guevara), reportage (encompassing touching moments and the harsh reality of racial segregation) and, naturally, canine companions.
