Magnum Photos is an international photographic cooperative owned by its photographer-members, with offices in New York City, Paris, London and Tokyo. It was founded in Paris in 1947.  This gorgeous piece of photographic art was sold during their "Works of Imagination" sale, in cooperation with Aperture that was held for seven days in October of 2020.  Prints were limited in number to only the prints sold during these seven days (though not physically numbered).  We have had it professionally matted and framed with UV Plexi and all archival materials.
