Coreen Simpson: Jamien, 1982

To celebrate the publication of Coreen Simpson: A Monograph (2025), Aperture is pleased to present a new limited-edition print by the artist. This long-awaited volume is the second title in Aperture’s Vision & Justice Book Series—cocreated and coedited by Drs. Sarah Lewis, Leigh Raiford, and Deborah Willis—and offers the first comprehensive survey of Simpson’s luminous and wide-ranging work.

The print features the indelible photograph from the book’s cover, Jamien (1982), from the B-Boys series, perfectly exemplifying Simpson’s signature talent for portraying Black life with elegance, intimacy, and a rich sense of cultural history. Recently debuted at Paris Photo 2025, where Simpson participated in the Book Talks program, this edition is strictly limited to 20 prints plus 5 artist’s proofs—a rare opportunity to acquire a work by a celebrated artist at a milestone moment in her career: her first Aperture monograph.

Proceeds from the sale of this work directly support the artist and Aperture’s publishing, educational, and public programs.

Each limited-edition print is hand-packed with great care and ships from New York within 3–5 days.
