Interesting story.  Kind of sad in a way, but maybe not so sad if
these are more accessible to the public and/or scholars.

cheers,

NYT has a slideshow sample of the prints.

Interesting story.  Kind of sad in a way, but maybe not so sad if
these are more accessible to the public and/or scholars.

Magnum booty moves house

This seems rather sad but beautiful at the same time. Magnum press 
prints are sold to Michael Dell, but they will be available for 
scholarly study for 5 years. Maybe, surely, some gems will be unearthed 
when they go through the collection


http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/arts/design/02magnum.html?em

Are the negatives still in Magnum's office? Shouldn't they be in a 
temperature controlled archive as well?
