Photography archive · Album covers
A focused archive record from the Depeche Mode collection, preserving the quiet, after-hours character of a photograph later presented in print and exhibition contexts.
Record 02
This photograph began as an unplanned image. It was later included in the 1983 London By Night presentation at The Photographers' Gallery and appeared in the publication Y, designed by Barney Bubbles.
Archive note
The record connects an album-cover commission with a wider body of night photography. Its later inclusion in an exhibition and independent publication gives the image a place beyond its initial use.
Brian G Vault presents selected visual records with concise context, keeping the emphasis on the work, its collection and its circulation over time.
