Magnum’s Latest Print Extravaganza Celebrates Iconic and Emerging Artistry

Magnum is set to launch its eagerly anticipated Square Print Sale, a thrilling showcase exploring the delicate balance between fact and fiction in photography. This year’s event, part of the “magnum fact fiction sale,” runs from October 26 to November 1, giving photography fans and collectors a short window to get their hands on new prints.

The sale includes photos from renowned photographers and emerging artists, including the renowned Martin Parr, whose celebrated “Common Sense” series is on exhibit once more at the Bristol Photo Festival after nearly three decades. Joining him are illustrious names like Chris Killip, Bruce Davidson, Susan Meiselas, and Ian Berry. In a nod to fresh perspectives, emerging talents such as Sakir Kahder and Salih Basheer will also present their work as part of the exhibition.

For another perspective on character and storytelling, Nosheen Iqbal’s intricate compositions offer a deep dive into cultural narratives through art.

Introducing a Larger Canvas for Creativity and the Event

This edition breaks new ground by offering prints in an expanded 9×9-inch size, alongside the traditional 6×6-inch format. Whether signed by the artist or stamped by an estate, these prints promise to be a treasured addition to any collection, with over 70 images available for purchase during this sale.

Magnum’s representatives express their excitement: “We are delighted to be showcasing so many limited-edition prints, offering collectors the unique opportunity to own these special, larger works.” This is an exciting development allowing collectors to add a special, larger work to their collections, allowing a greater presence and impact for each image during the showcase.
