Magnum Photography
The Magnum Archive: Vintage 20th Century will present more than 100 vintage prints by over 40 of the world's greatest photographers drawn from the incomparable Archive of Magnum Photos, New York. The show will feature some of the most iconic images of the 20th Century, as well as newly discovered masterpieces. The archive of Magnum Photos, New York is the greatest collection in the world of artistic photographs documenting the tumultuous second half of the 20th Century. For the first time, the entire archive of over 180,000 black and white prints has been searched to produce an exhibition that charts the unparalleled contribution of the world's leading photographic agency. Now that digital photography has replaced film and paper, a collection like the Magnum Archive will never again be assembled. The Magnum Archive: Vintage 20th Century will exhibit some of the most important black and white photographic prints that have or will ever be made. James Dean 50 Years Ago
