Aperture 169

50th Anniversary, Part 2

Issues 168 and 169 of Aperture feature excerpts and page spreads from fifty years of issues and books. Issue 169 continues the story of Aperture‘s evolution from a small quarterly journal to a cultural phenomenon that reaches the largest and most diverse audience for fine photography worldwide. Featured artists in Part 2 include: Robert Adams, Richard Avedon, Cornell Capa, Robert Capa, Chuck Close, Gregory Crewdson, Lynn Davis, William Eggleston, Barbara Ess, Ralph Gibson, Allen Ginsberg, Josef Koudelka, Annie Leibovitz, Danny Lyon, Susan Meiselas, Richard Misrach, Sylvia Plachy, Eugene Richards, Lise Sarfati, Cindy Sherman, Joel Sternfeld, Paul Strand, Nick Waplington, Joel-Peter Witkin, and many more.

These two special anniversary issues trace Aperture‘s history as well as the currents in photography that have brought the medium to its present status as one of the most important art forms—and arguably the most powerful medium of communication. True to Aperture‘s history of providing a vital sounding board for a vast community of thinkers on photography, both anniversary issues include texts excerpted from past volumes, as well as an in-depth chronicle of the magazine’s history by longtime contributor, R. H. Cravens.
