New Photography Portfolio – Limited Edition

Published in 2015, this original, rare portofolio was recently discovered in MoMA’s archives and a limited number of copies have been made available. Produced in a limited edition of 30 on the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of the New Photography exhibition series, MoMA presents this limited edition photography portfolio featuring 13 works by 12 leading contemporary artists who were featured in New Photography series. All proceeds from the sale of this portfolio will support the continuation of the series, which, since its inception in 1985, has introduced the work of some 100 artists from around the globe. All works are chromogenic color prints on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Super Type CN matte paper with one exception. Walead Beshty has contributed two works: one is a unique photogram and the other is a letterpress print on platinum-foil-stamped Crane Lettra 220-lb paper.

The chromogenic prints, with the exception of Beshty’s, were printed in collaboration with the artists by Julie Pochron and M. Murphy at Pochron Studios LLC, Brooklyn, New York. The photogram and the letterpress print were printed by Beshty.

The portfolio box is covered in Iris linen book cloth with foil stamping. It was made at Portfoliobox, Warren, Rhode Island. The cover of the box and the colophon sheet were designed by MoMA Design Studio, New York.
