Magnum Photos | 75th Anniversary Triptych

Magnum Photos celebrates its 75th anniversary with a series of three square print sales, offering buyers the chance to collect a curated triptych of images throughout the year. The first of these, “Precedents,” embodies the notion of something new. Photographers pulled personal archival images that signal a moment of change, or a new beginning. These can stand alone or converse with the latter two images, to be released in the June and October sales. 

In an ode to Women’s History Month, Flaunt features the work of a host of female photographers, all of whose photos are part of the seventy-plus archival prints that are on sale for $100 and are available to purchase for the week on the Magnum site. 

Photographers will also be donating 50% of proceeds from sales to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to help fund their humanitarian mission to assist in Ukraine and beyond.
