Photographs from the lens of artists like Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, and Nan Goldin have helped both document and shape New York City\u2019s history, so it only seems fitting that a new gallery and home for a longstanding New York-based photography organization will open with an exhibition of those images.<\/p>\n

Aperture, a New York nonprofit known for its magazine, books, galleries, prints, and programs, is moving to a new home this fall<\/a> \u2013 and it’s bringing an inaugural exhibition celebrating iconic New York artists with it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The longstanding publisher and nonprofit, founded in 1952, will open a new location on September 18 in New York City\u2019s Upper West Side. The location at 380 Columbus Ave. and the intersection of 78th Street puts the multi-purpose building directly across from the Museum of Natural History, as well as close to the New York Historical and Central Park.<\/p>\n

But the move isn\u2019t just a home for Aperture staff working on the nonprofit’s books, magazines, and prints. The space will house a gallery, which will open with Aperture Loves New York, an exhibition featuring a collection of photographers who have helped shape New York\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

While Apeture’s current location on West 28th Street in Chelsea also had a gallery and store (now closed ahead of the move), the change will create a space with ground-floor visibility near some of NYC’s most popular destinations.<\/p>\n

Aperture Executive Director Sarah Meister, who is also curating the gallery opening, says that the move focuses on \u201ccreating an open, dynamic space for encountering photography\u2014one that invites dialogue, fosters discovery, and brings us into closer engagement with our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new space is inside a 10,000 square foot building originally built in 1886. Aperture says that the building has been \u201cthoughtfully adapted\u201d for its new purpose while honoring the building\u2019s historic character.<\/p>\n

\u201cAperture is a publisher, but it is also a cultural platform with a legacy that spans more than seventy years. This new space enables us to build upon this history and expand our audiences and activities while remaining committed to nurturing a vibrant culture around photography,\u201d said Aperture board chair Cathy M. Kaplan.<\/p>\n

Aperture will continue to rotate galleries after the inaugural New York exhibition. Additional public events are also being planned for the September opening.<\/p>\n
