Marcus Campbell, located nearly next to the Tate Modern, specialises in «out of print, second-hand and rare books on 20th century and contemporary art.» I found the shop fairly light in the photography book selection — I was on the hunt for a coffee table book of either Nan Goldin or Edward Weston. Neither were available. The chap behind the counter was quite effusive, however, and made the experience enjoyable.

If your visit to the Tate Modern has whetted your appetite for delving further into works of art, a mere minute away you’ll find an enticing shop. Filled to the brim, with books and catalogues, to satisfy the whims of fans from classical artistic masterpieces to modern fringe, there is something here for all budgets — major and miniscule — and tastes. I came away with a wonderful 1950s Thames and Hudson book on Picasso, for just a few pounds and also bought a stunning, pristine catalogue from a glorious, recent exhibition at Rome’s Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna.
