Edited by Brigitte Lardinois
Magnum Magnum is a book of unparalleled scale and ambition, and is set
to be the photography book of 2007. It features over 400 images by many
of the acknowledged greats of 20th-century photography as well as the
modern masters and rising stars of today, each of whom is represented
by six works chosen by, and accompanied by a critical text from, another
member. With biographies of all the featured photographers, a history
of Magnum Photos and a thorough bibliography, Magnum Magnum will
become one of the great collectibles of our time – an essential book for
anyone interested in photography or the world depicted by it.
The sole, official publication to celebrate Magnum’s sixtieth
anniversary
The volume’s vast page size and peerless production values give the
photography an impact never before seen in book form
At once a celebration of an incredible creative collective, an insight
into what makes a great photograph, and a permanent record of
some of the greatest images of recent times
A beautiful object in its own right, packaged in its own protective
carton with handle
