22 Photos From Magnum’s New Square Print Sale That Capture Spirit of Youth

by · Peta Pixel

Magnum Photos and Aperture have teamed up for a new edition of Magnum’s Square Print Sale. The latest sale, titled Youth, features prints from celebrated photographers like Steve McCurry, Joel Meyerowitz, Susan Meiselas, Alec Soth, and many more.

Magnum Photos and Aperture say that “Youth is an attitude; it’s about a state of rebellion, of becoming, of breaking rules and creating your style in the process.” The Square Print Sale features images that defined cultural eras, inspired fashion, and instigated societal change.

Each archival six-by-six inch print is $110 and available from now, October 20, through October 26. Once the sale ends, that’s it. As is the case with prior Magnum Square Print Sales, the prints, which are technically 5.5 inches (14 centimeters) on the long side but printed on 6×6″ paper, will never be offered again in this format once the sale ends.

There are over 100 images up for sale and they have been selected by the photographers themselves or their estates. The prints are signed or estate-stamped.
