Little,Brown and Ansel Adams: 30 Years

The article reports on the succesful partnership between US photographer ANSEL ADAMS and publisher Little, Brown. Although Ansel died in 1984, his popularity may be at an all time high. At a recent auction, a 1948 print of Adam's Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico sold for $609600 a record for the artist. The sustained sales can be attributed to the accessibility of his work both to photographyexperts and amateurs, and to Little, Brown's enthusiastic commitment to publishing his work.
