Magnum Square Print Sale in Partnership with The Photographers’ Gallery: Odyssey

March 23 - March 29, 2026

Over 100 signed or estate-stamped, museum-quality 6x6” prints will be available online for one week, starting at $110/£110/€120

Odyssey is more than a journey—it is a profound exploration of meaning, transformation, and human resilience. Drawing inspiration from the enduring legacy of Homer’s Odyssey, this Square Print Sale reflects the timeless idea of travel as both a physical and emotional passage. Bringing together a curated selection of work from over 100 internationally acclaimed photographers, the collection maps the diverse paths we take across borders, through memory, and into the unknown. Presented in collaboration with The Photographers’ Gallery, this special edition features works by renowned artists including Martin Parr, Daidō Moriyama, Eve Arnold, Nadav Kander, Steve McCurry, Juno Calypso, Karen Knorr, and many more.

Rooted in the long-standing documentary and artistic traditions of Magnum Photos, a collective founded in 1947 and widely recognized for its commitment to independent visual storytelling, Odyssey highlights photography as a powerful medium of observation and reflection. “Odyssey considers photography as a sustained act of looking,” says Michael Sargeant, Global Digital Director for Magnum Photos. “It speaks to journeys undertaken—sometimes perilously, as in Homer’s epic poem, and sometimes through long-term engagement with people, places, and ideas. The theme reflects Magnum’s diversity of practice and its near 80-year commitment to author-driven work.” The Square Print Sale continues to play a vital role in supporting photographers and sustaining this legacy of visual storytelling.

This collaboration also underscores the mission of The Photographers’ Gallery, one of the UK’s leading institutions dedicated to photography. “We are delighted to be partnering with Magnum again on the Square Print Sale,” says Shoair Mavlian, Director of The Photographers’ Gallery. “It is a unique opportunity to present a wide range of artistic perspectives on what ‘Odyssey’ can represent—from migration and displacement to introspection and identity. The initiative makes exceptional photography accessible to a broader audience, while supporting our charitable work and ongoing exhibitions.”

From epic migrations and global travel narratives to intimate moments of personal reflection, the photographs in Odyssey span decades and continents. They capture the intersections of culture, politics, and everyday life, revealing how individual experiences often echo broader societal shifts. Through documentary, portraiture, and conceptual approaches, each image becomes a visual waypoint—part of a larger story about movement, discovery, and change. This diversity of perspectives reinforces photography’s role in shaping how we understand the world and our place within it.

Designed for both seasoned collectors and new audiences, the Square Print Sale offers over 100 signed or estate-stamped, museum-quality 6x6” prints. Available exclusively online for one week, prints start at accessible price points of $110 / £110 / €120, making it an exceptional opportunity to collect limited-edition works by some of the most influential photographers working today.

Ultimately, Odyssey invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys—past, present, and future. Where have we been? Where are we going? Through powerful visual storytelling and global perspectives, this collection offers a compelling meditation on the experiences that shape who we are and how we see the world.

“I always enjoy shooting queues — the British are very good at doing this. I was very excited when I saw this queue for St Michael’s Mount. It took me a while to fi nd the right viewpoint and then wait for the line of people to be clear to ensure there were no people pushing in.” - Martin Parr

Anastasia Samoylova: Atlantic Coast

By Anastasia Samoylova

Publisher : Aperture and the Norton Museum of Art

2025 | 144 pages

Anastasia Samoylova: Atlantic Coast opens a vast, quietly unsettling portrait of the American East Coast — one in which nostalgia, dislocation and transformation are sewn into the landscape itself. In this new monograph, Samoylova retraces the route pioneered by Berenice Abbott in 1954, journeying from Florida to Maine to revisit the places Abbott once documented, and to observe what has become of them decades later. Her images — in vivid color and stark black and white — reveal the tension between myth and reality, between promises of progress and the traces of decay or displacement.

Where once small towns and coastal communities had a certain stillness, Samoylova finds change carved into facades and roadside signs, into suburban sprawl and shuttered shopfronts. She frames these scenes with a photographer’s patience and a poet’s sensitivity — capturing abandoned diners, empty motels, decaying houses, ghostly intersections. At the same time, there is stubborn life: occasional portraits of people, wildlife, reminders that behind every sign of decline, someone, something endures.

Her book does not simply document physical places. It traces the shifting contours of identity, belonging and memory in a nation where the open road has long symbolized freedom — and where that ideal has become tangled with consumerism, environmental degradation, and socio-economic upheaval. Through Atlantic Coast, Samoylova asks whether the “American Dream” remains intact, or if it has fractured along with the towns her car passes through.

Reading this volume is to experience a slow, attentive journey — as a witness, as a traveller, as someone invited to reconsider what America has become. Her photographs linger, subtly unsettling the viewer’s assumptions about beauty, progress and decline. In its silence and restraint, the book whispers that memory, identity and place are fragile — and that every road carries stories worth listening to.

Lisette Model

By Lisette Model

Publisher : Prestel

2026 | 256 pages

Lisette Model presents a definitive exploration of one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century, whose bold vision reshaped the way urban life and society were captured on film. This stunning hardcover features over 200 reproductions, ranging from her early Parisian portraits to the striking images of New York streets that defined her career.

Model’s photographic journey began in Vienna and matured in France, where her keen eye for social observation developed. Early works, including portraits of idle elites in Nice, reveal her sharp sense of critique tempered by empathy. These images, at once confrontational and intimate, established her as a formidable observer of human behavior. After emigrating to the United States, Model brought this incisive approach to New York, producing iconic images such as the Coney Island Bather and the Cafe Metropole series, which juxtapose vitality, vulnerability, and the stark contrasts of city life.

Her lens captured both the glamour and grit of her surroundings: the bustling streets of the Lower East Side, the grandeur of high-society gatherings, and the nuanced everyday gestures that reveal the inner lives of her subjects. Model’s distinctive framing, bold compositions, and unflinching attention to human detail created a visual language that remains influential to this day.

This collection also includes lesser-known works from her travels along the U.S. West Coast and Venezuela, highlighting her continued exploration of character, form, and place. Insights from scholar Walter Moser contextualize her work within the broader trajectory of twentieth-century photography, illuminating her enduring impact as both an artist and a teacher.

Lisette Model is more than a retrospective; it is an immersive journey into a world seen through a lens of unvarnished reality and poetic observation. It celebrates a photographer whose fearless engagement with her subjects, combined with her artistic rigor, forged a path for generations of street and documentary photographers, offering an essential resource for enthusiasts and scholars alike.

Fred Herzog: A Color Legacy

By Fred Herzog

Publisher : Hatje Cantz

2026 | 144 pages

Fred Herzog: A Color Legacy opens a fresh chapter on the streets of Vancouver and beyond, offering the public previously unseen images from the archives of a man whose eye for color and life defied the conventions of his time. Herzog’s work in the 1950s and 60s stands out because he chose Kodachrome — a decision nearly heretical when art photography still equated seriousness with black and white. What emerges through his Leica’s lens is a world awash in warm reds, neon signs, and the soft glow of streetlights — a world that feels alive, tactile, and tender.

After emigrating from Germany to Vancouver in 1953 and working by day as a medical photographer, Herzog spent his evenings and weekends roaming the city streets. He captured storefronts, everyday people going about their lives, second-hand shops, Chinatown alleys, decaying cars, neon reflections — details often overlooked, but rich with character. He treated photography not as artifice but as observation, documenting modern urban life with precision and empathy. His photographs turned ordinary city scenes into a tribute to human presence and urban texture.

The volume collects these rediscovered gems alongside his best-known photos, offering a more complete portrait of a photographer who stubbornly trusted color when many of his peers turned away. The images span Vancouver and also trace Herzog’s travels to the U.S., the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, showing a restless spirit and a worldwide curiosity. Each frame is infused with intimacy, subtle humor, and a respect for the quotidian — light on one face, a reflection in a shop window, the curve of a car hood shimmering in rain.

Fred Herzog: A Color Legacy is not just a homage to a photographer but a statement about memory, time, and beauty in the urban fabric. It reminds us how much of a city’s soul lives in small moments — a street sign, a storefront, a quiet onlooker — and how color, long seen as frivolous in serious photography, can reveal more truth than monochrome ever could.
