Very sorry to hear of the death of Chris Killip, one of this country’s most outstanding photographers. We are proud to have first shown Chris’ work in 1982 and again in 2013 when he was nominated for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize.

“I made them with a sense of urgency, as I thought it wasn’t going to last. I didn’t set out to be the photographer of the English de-Industrial Revolution. It happened all around me during the time I was photographing.”

Rest in power, Chris Killip.

Sad news that the great photographer, Chris Killip, has died.
Glistening images that speak of his engagement with time and place and the medium itself. Killip was someone held in the highest regard by photographers, but should be better known to everyone. #ChrisKillip

Sad times about Chris Killip. His photos of the north-east in the seventies and eighties are some of my all-time favourites. He was one of the greats.
