An Evening With Vince Aletti at Fotografiska

Amanda Hajjar, Director of Exhibitions, will appear in conversation with acclaimed photography critic and author Vince Aletti on the subject of his recent book, Issues: A History of Photography in Fashion Magazines (Phaidon).

A showcase of ground-breaking photography of fashion magazines over the last century, the book presents 100 significant issues from Aletti’s own expansive personal archive, revealing images by photographers rarely seen outside their original context — including Richard Avedon, Collier Schorr, Diane Arbus, and Wolfgang Tillmans. With his characteristic élan and featuring stunning images, Aletti has created a fresh, idiosyncratic, and previously unexplored angle on the history of photography. Magazines featured include American, British, and French Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, W, Details, Purple Fashion, The Face, Dutch, and many more.
