The latest issue of The Classic is now available to view online or collect from one of the venues stocking the printed magazine. The issue includes interviews with publisher Bruno Tartarin; Claudia Baroncini, director of the Alinari Foundation; and with gallerist Stephen Daiter. Elsewhere Michael Diemar looks at the story behind Charles Jones and his photographs of vegetables, and there is a preview of AIPAD.
Separately, the publishers have created a boxset, containing the first 12 issues of The Classic, plus a special 48-page supplement, entitled Through a Glass, Darkly. The boxset is limited to 250 numbered copies and unlike the regular issues of The Classic, Through a Glass, Darkly will not be made available as free download, nor will the articles be published anywhere else.
The articles in the supplement look back at the history of the photography market and include many previously unpublished photographs. There’s another reason to buy the boxset. The Classic is a free magazine but it’s not free to produce, print and ship. Despite advertising, it’s nowhere close to breaking even. The boxset is a way to recoup some of the now considerable costs that have been incurred. Your support would be appreciated. In short, if you want to read the articles in the supplement, you’ll have to buy the boxset.
