Suspended, 2008 (Created exclusively for Aperture by the artist) Thomas Allen

OK Folks...it is Freebies Friday. Here is another one.

A lot of true talent in one room. Try not to miss it.

Aperture is pleased to announce a compelling panel discussion dedicated to collecting affordable photography. Moderated by Laurel Ptak, Aperture's Educational Programs Manager, the discussion will include Kellie McLaughlin of Aperture's Limited-Edition Photographs Program, Amani Olu, founder and executive director of the Humble Arts Foundation and Director of the Bond Street Gallery, collector Ruben Natal-San Miguel of ARTmostfierce arts blog, and photographer Brian Ulrich.

These rare photographic treasures include works by pioneers of the medium, including Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Edward Steichen, and Dorothea Lange, as well as works by contemporary visionaries such as Eikoh Hosoe, Richard Misrach, An-My Lê, Edgar Martins, and Kahn & Selesnick.
