The Limited Edition

Organized by photographer, Magnum Magnum is built upon a concept from Magnum’s early days and what made Magnum such a unique creative environment; a collaborative process where each of the four founding members picture edited the other’s photographs. This book evokes the same creative spirit, with each current Magnum photographer selecting and critiquing six key works by another of the agency’s 87 photographers along with a commentary explaining the rationale behind their choices.

On publication in 2007, the first edition immediately sold out, establishing Magnum Magnum as the definitive photobook of its era. This new edition, celebrating Magnum’s 75^th Anniversary, adds the 25 photographers who have joined Magnum in the last 15 years. With more than 150 new photographs and over 700 pages, this book is the definition of an updated classic.

Created and produced in collaboration with Steidl, and designed by Martin Andersen, this very collectible edition returns to the original, epic 390 x 320mm page size, is printed in Göttingen under the direction of Gerhard Steidl himself in five colour process throughout on 150gsm Magno Volume Paper by Sappi, Italy and bound in real cloth with two-colour foil blocking.
