On June 19, Aperture Connect Members joined Aperture trustee David Solo at his Brooklyn home for the second Connect Meet-Up of 2017.
Solo led a special tour and discussion about collecting photobooks, traveling to artbook fairs, and how his love for collecting books began. It was a treat to look through Solo’s vast library, which includes remarkable publications such as and everything becomes nothing again by Léa Habourdin, a scroll-format photobook by Rinko Kawauchi, and Fotografie1956 Prague by Josef Sudek. Aperture staff and Solo shared their love of photobooks, both contemporary and rare, and Members were exposed to a firsthand look at how photobook collections start, how they are organized, and how they are cared for—and witnessed the joy of living with books.
Aperture Connect is a dynamic group of engaged supporters (ages 21 to 37), residing in the New York Tri-State area, who seek to further their knowledge and understanding of photography, publishing, and the international photo community.
