Aperture Photographs

The exhibition collects printed editions from the print and fundraising programme launched by The Aperture Foundation in 1967, under Michael Hoffman, Minor White’s successor as director and publisher of Aperture. The programme has always been consistent with Aperture’s mission and has allowed artists and photographers to produce some hand-pulled photogravure prints; this has also made possible for them to sell their works prior to having gallery representation. Today Aperture still produces printed editions by both established and emerging artists, reaching a wider collecting public.

“Aperture Photographs” investigates the evolution of photography through the works of remarkable authors such as Aperture’s founders Minor White, Edward Weston, Barbara Morgan, and Dorothea Lange, contemporary innovators such as Tyler Mitchell and other groups of significant photographers for each decade.
