abstract: The Magnum Photos archive, a collection of more than 200,000 photographs by some of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries' greatest image makers, is the most comprehensive accumulation of prints made by the distinguished photo cooperative. Consistently and with striking artistry, Magnum's photographers have done more than simply document the far reaches of the globe; they have helped shape generations' understanding of the world around them. While many of its photographs have been widely published, until now no one has examined the Magnum archive itself. In Reading Magnum, experts from several fields investigate this visual archive, now residing at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, to discover how a select, influential group of visual authors has used the camera for an ambitious project of cultural interpretation and social commentary. (Exhibition: Ransom Center Galleries, Austin, USA, 10.09.2013-05.01.2014).
