Limited-Edition Prints | Aperture https://aperture.org/prints/ Publisher and Center for the Photo Community Tue, 20 Jan 2026 21:24:23 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.7 Signifiers for a Male Response, 1977 https://aperture.org/prints/signifiers-for-a-male-response-1977/ Tue, 13 Jan 2026 19:49:55 +0000 https://aperture.org/?post_type=product&p=329418 Aperture is pleased to present an exclusive limited-edition print by Hal Fischer, which is featured in Hal Fischer: Seminal Works (2025). Fischer’s first Aperture monograph brings together his iconic series Gay Semiotics with his rarely seen early photography and features a dynamic range of essays that consider queer culture and social change in San Francisco.

In Signifiers for a Male Response (1977), one of the best-known images from Gay Semiotics, Fischer portrays the elements of queer street style—earrings, handkerchiefs, keys—that broadcast a range of desires in San Francisco’s Castro and Haight-Ashbury neighborhoods of the late 1970s. Gay Semiotics is now recognized as a vital record of gay culture before AIDS, capturing the identities of a community inventing itself during an era of liberation. Released to celebrate Fischer’s career-defining work, this limited-edition print offers a rare chance to collect an important piece of photographic history.

Proceeds from this exclusive print sale directly support the artist and Aperture’s nonprofit publishing, educational, and public programs.

Blue Corvette https://aperture.org/prints/blue-corvette/ Tue, 11 Nov 2025 01:49:39 +0000 https://aperture.org/?post_type=product&p=298059 In Atlantic Coast, Anastasia Samoylova retraces Berenice Abbott’s 1954 photographic journey along the Eastern Seaboard, documenting dislocation, loss, and a shifting American dream.

Inspired by Abbott’s acute and poetic observations on life along US Route 1 and on the seventieth anniversary of her project, the Florida-based photographer ventures on her own journey to revisit those communities forever transformed by the interstate. In this photograph, Samoylova turns her eye to a medley of roadside Americana: the undulating American flag, the bald eagle, a powder-blue Corvette, and their eccentric juxtaposition. A nearly shadowless light lends the scene a timeless quality, one punctuated by a stark reminder of nostalgia’s bewildering allure.

Tyler Mitchell: Wish This Was Real (Collectors’ Edition) https://aperture.org/prints/tyler-mitchell-wish-this-was-real-collectors-edition/ Fri, 17 Oct 2025 14:58:03 +0000 https://aperture.org/?post_type=product&p=323625 Tyler Mitchell’s artistic practice is animated by dreams of paradise and transcendence against the backdrop of history. Since his rise to prominence in the worlds of art and fashion, Mitchell has created images of beauty, utopia, and the American landscape that expand the imaginary of Blackness in the twenty-first century. Wish This Was Real is the definitive early-career survey of Mitchell’s work, offering a comprehensive look into the subjects driving his artistic practice, from his genre-bending portraits made in the United States, Europe, and West Africa to his photographs printed on diaphanous fabrics and sculptures that reference Black intellectual heritage. Presenting new perspectives by leading writers on his long-standing themes of self-determination and the extraordinary radiance of the everyday, Wish This Was Real shows how photography can be rooted in a collective past while evoking imagined futures.

To celebrate Mitchell’s first survey monograph, Aperture is pleased to present this special collectors’ edition of Wish This Was Real, which includes three custom metallic covers, based on artworks originally printed by Mitchell as unique mirror works, and two posters, all enclosed in a deluxe folder. Each edition—limited to 100 copies and printed by Trifolio, in Verona, Italy—is signed and numbered by Mitchell.

The proceeds from the sale of this collectors’ edition directly supports the artist and Aperture’s nonprofit publishing, educational, and public programs.

#2024, 1996 https://aperture.org/prints/todd-hido-2024-1996/ Mon, 14 Jul 2025 08:00:16 +0000 https://aperture.org/?post_type=product&p=298288 Well known for his photography of landscapes and suburban housing, the acclaimed American photographer Todd Hido casts a distinctly cinematic eye across all that he photographs.

Framed by a desolate street, windows glow with light from the home’s interior—quietly hinting at the unknown within. Aperture is pleased to present this exclusive limited-edition print by Hido upon the release of the newly revised and expanded Intimate Distance: Over Thirty Years of Photographs, A Chronological Album (2025), which includes ten years of new work since the book’s first publication.

Plate VI, 2022; from the series Plates I–XXXI https://aperture.org/prints/plate-vi-2022-from-the-series-plates-i-xxxi/ Sat, 05 Apr 2025 19:38:50 +0000 https://aperture.org/?post_type=product&p=285995 Plates I-XXXI, featured in the “Photography & Painting” issue of Aperture.]]> During lockdown, the Berlin-based artist Lia Darjes relocated to her parents’ countryside home. In an essay by Jesse Dorris for the spring issue of Aperture magazine, “Photography & Painting,” Darjes reflects on that time: “I was sitting in the garden one day, just thinking, ‘What’s next?’” she recalls. “Then I saw a squirrel jump onto our garden table, and I thought, ‘I wonder if I can recreate that.’” Despite her early passion for photojournalism, Darjes has long been seduced by the dramatic artifice of the Dutch vanitas tradition. “I struggled, because I was always interested by still life, but it’s made up—arranged,” she says.

This photograph is part of the series Plates I–XXXI, the imaginative outcome of her first encounter with that neighborly squirrel. Inspired by that moment, she began orchestrating picnics and luncheons on tables in gardens of friends and family. She leaves behind delicate remnants of these meals, subtly coaxing future guests. Their movements, in turn, trigger the camera, which has been left in place for hours or even days. The result is a fairytale-like scene featuring a coal tit whose presence serves as a quiet testament to the space where the natural world and the human world gracefully intersect.
