The exhibition and book from Aperture

Paul Strand was born in 1890 and his photography spanned six decades and three continents.

‘Paul Strand in Mexico’ is an exhibition of over a hundred photographic works including vintage prints and previously unseen documents and ephemera related to Strand’s time in Mexico and is accompanied by a printed volume that documents the complete photographic works made by Strand during his 1932-34 trip to Mexico as well as a second journey in 1966 – a total of 234 photographs, 123 of which have never before been published.

The exhibition is at Aperture through November 13th but you can see Strand’s ‘The Mexican Portfolio’, presented by Aperture, at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, through January 2, 2011. All images courtesy and copyright Aperture/The Paul Strand Archive.
