Shades of Grey: Glasgow, 1956–1986

Shades of Grey: Glasgow, 1956-86 is a book of photographs by Oscar Marzaroli with an essay by William McIlvanney.

One of the photos from the book, a 1963 portrait of three young boys wearing their mother's high-heeled shoes playing in Kidson Street in the Gorbals area of Glasgow, was in 2005 made into a bronze statue installed in Queen Elizabeth Square.

The Marzaroli family created the Gorbals community group that made saving Oscars unseen collection possible through Caledonian University.

The statue was unveiled in August 2008 by Nicola Sturgeon, then Scotland's Deputy First Minister.
