Magnum has partnered with Aperture for it’s Square Print Sale, titled Youth.
Youth is about a moment, a memory — a state of becoming. It’s the spark of firsts: the first glance, the first protest, the first kiss, the first fall, the first revelation. With over 100 images selected by the photographers themselves, we explore the many faces of youth across generations and geographies.
Youth captures the electric charge of growing up. It brings together icons in their prime —
Dennis Stock’s enigmatic portrait of James Dean, Danny Clinch’s shot of Bruce Springsteen, Phillippe Halsman’s image of Brigitte Bardot — and the young at heart, as in Werner Bischoff’s portrait of Frida Kahlo months before her death. It seizes moments of the young and restless, from Robert Capa’s teenagers drinking on a film set to Raymond Depardon’s bubble-gum blowers in Glasgow. Intimate portraits trace the arc of self-discovery: Olivia Arthur’s child on the cusp of change and Alec Soth’s lone dancer both capture the spirit of youth, regardless of age. This selection reminds us of our own beginnings, encapsulating how being youthful is not only an era in our lives but a state of mind.
Over 100 signed or estate-stamped, museum-quality 6×6” prints available online NOW starting at $110/£110/€120. through to Sunday, October 26th, 11:59 p.m. EDT
The Magnum Square Print Sale takes place on the Magnum Photos Shop: store.magnumphotos.com
Magnum Square Prints are printed on 6×6” (15.24×15.24 cm) archival paper; image size is 5.5” (14 cm) on the longest side. Images will not be cropped but will instead have white borders. They are not editioned by quantity but by time, as these items will not be available outside of the online Square Print Sale online. The images in each sale are always different, and will never be available in this format again.
