This year’s Magnum Square Print Sale has opened and will run until 12 April, offering more than 100 images for sale to collectors.
Paul Fusco: Robert Kennedy funeral train. Stokes St, Havre de Grace, MD, USA. 1968
Titled ‘Turning Points’, this sale represents the first collaboration between Magnum Photos – the world’s longest- running photographic and artistic co-operative – and The Everyday Projects, a global network that began as Everyday Africa in 2012. Everyday Africa set out to challenge the media- driven stereotypes that affect the continent by featuring images of everyday life made by a community of contributing photographers that live or work extensively on the continent. The viral success of this first iteration of the project led to an expanding international movement with like-minded storytellers worldwide creating their own @Everyday feeds on Instagram, using photography to combat cliché, promote local norms, and celebrate global commonalities.
The sale brings together a selection of more than 100 images by international visual artists, signed or estate-stamped, museum-quality 6×6-inch prints which will be sold for US$100 each. The participating photographers looked over their personal archives in search of images relating to, or capturing events that changed the course of history, society, a life, or a practice. During the period of the Square Print Sale in collaboration with The Everyday Projects, Magnum will be donating a percentage of proceeds to Médecins Sans Frontières’s COVID-19 emergency response.
