The signature styles of Magnum’s photographers and their commitment to documenting the world have brought each of them individual acclaim. But it is their collective and it’s archive, with its wealth of iconic images, that have guaranteed their influence on Twentieth and early Twenty-First Century visual culture. As digital technology usurps analogue, in both the taking and distribution of photographic work, the physical print archive, once at the heart of Magnum’s business, has taken on a new role as a resource for scholarship and exhibition. Concurrently, the market value of the photographic print as object, as well as image, grows. This exhibition sets out to celebrate the legacy of Magnum’s print archive, uncovering the processes behind traditional, manual, image dissemination, interpreting the mysterious marks on the back of press prints and demonstrating the craft of printing Magnum’s famous photographs. It also looks to our digital future, in which technological innovation and the world wide web have created exciting new models to deliver, and re-interpret Magnum’s photography.
