Murray Johnston was born in Fife and educated in Edinburgh and Dundee. From 1969-1972 he worked as a medical photographer. He was the first photographer in residence at Kielder Forest, Northumberland in 1980. From 1982-8 he was Director of the Stills Gallery in Edinburgh, giving particular encouragement to Scottish photographers. From 1988 he was Head of Photography at Edinburgh College of Art and in 1987 he founded Scottish Photographic Works (with Kate Johnston) to promote Scottish photography. In 1989 he organised the major exhibition Scottish Camera Art Now (with David Britain) for the Houston Fotofest. His last published work was Edinburgh Past and Present (1990).
What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard-backed envelope for protection. They have been stored folded.
